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.
