Grey - A Review


Grey is my favourite colour. Here are some of my favourite shades, their hex triplets, and some associated trivia:

  • Arsenic - (#3B444B) : the dark blueish grey of the element Arsenic. The 1944 film Arsenic and Old Lace is a shit old movie by Frank Capra.
  • Taupe - (#483C32) : A vague dark greyish colour. They say taupe is very soothing. Some people think taupe is brown or tan. They are wrong.
  • Davy's Grey - (#788878) : A greeny grey colour. They say Davy turned this colour one day, shortly before vomiting.

  • Feldgrau - (#4D5D53) : A light grey/green colour. The preferred shade of the German military in the early 20th century.
Here are the top five things that look good in grey:
  1. Stone
  2. Corduroy
  3. Brain
  4. Modern Technology
  5. Stripes
Thank you, reader.

If there's no traffic it should take you about 20 or 30 minutes but traffic is pretty common and it could therefore take you at least an hour, a taxi to the airport should cost no more than 30 Egyptian pounds but some people will try to charge you as much as 200. Some of the papers that come out only once a week have managed to gather a large number of readers. The news that you as a reporter tend to report must be based on fact. As of now, I can only speculate that there are more good than bad to go on-line for the newspaper publishers in Malaysia as apparently there has been no case where a newspaper publisher has gone bust.
