Somewhat gray in color; grayish or having a gray tint.
From Latin griseus (gray) combined with -eous (having the quality of), creating an adjective meaning 'having a gray quality.'
Latin-based color words are fascinating because 'griseous' doesn't mean pure gray—it means 'sort of gray-ish,' capturing shades that pure color words can't quite describe.
