Gray is a color between black and white. It can also describe something dull, cloudy, or old.
“Gray” (also spelled “grey”) comes from Old English “grǣg.” The color name has been stable in English for many centuries.
We often use ‘gray’ for things that feel unclear or in-between, like ‘gray areas’ in rules or ethics. The word quietly suggests that not everything in life is pure black or white, right or wrong.
