Archaic or dialectal term meaning somewhat gray, grayish, or dingy in color.
From Old English græg or similar Germanic roots meaning 'gray'; the diminutive -y suffix softens it to mean slightly or somewhat gray.
Color words in old English were so vague that 'gery' could mean anything from gray to murky to weathered—which is why Shakespeare's descriptions of color are so hard to pin down to modern hues.
