Color of the Week: Gray

Gray:  |grā|  noun.  a color between white and black, having a neutral hue; the color of ashes or an overcast sky; cloudy and dull (of the weather); without sun.

Gray is my favorite neutral color. It is the color of compromise; the shift between black and white. Gray calms other colors - softening the vibrant and lightening the dark.

When I think of the color gray, I picture - clouds, elephants, stones and wool coats. Gray makes me feel solid and secure. I love the darker tones of charcoal and smoke the most. The names - deep cavern, gray gull, lava stone and pebble - remind me of the Black Sand Beach on Maui. This achromatic color makes me feel calm and collected. What does the color gray bring up for you?
