Somewhere between the darkblack and the light-white, Grey exists as an intermediate color. A neutral and achromatic colour, meaning literally that it is a colour “without colour”, entailing only black and white. While, in the perspective of colour psychology, grey is emotionless, boring, detached, and indecisive. Morally ambiguous and impartial, grey is the colour of complexity–everything that falls in between absolutes.
“Grey is the colour... the most important of all... absent of opinion, nothing, neither/nor.” – Gerhard Richter.
Grey in the usage
The word ‘grey’ even though in transitory attribution, ascribes unresolved meaning to words. Thus, grey-market signifies the business of buying or selling items that are priced below what has been regulated. Likewise, grey-mood denotes an unhappy mood, whereas grey-area is when you are caught between two differing views.
