Another gray day! (Or another grey day if you're in other English-speaking countries.) Even on sunny days, gray has a slightly negative reputation - gray hair, etc. But, in the winter, gray is associated with All Things Dreary: stormy skies, rainy weather, snow plow slush, and . . . gray hair. I think gray needs a bit of positive PR - so here are a few Grays that are far from dreary.

And, while I don't think it's the right look for me (!), gray hair (not to mention a well-tailored gray suit) can be very cheery . . .
And what better way to zip around town than in this 1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud? The gray here clearly means luxury.

Indoors and out:
So embrace today's grayness . . . wishing you a gray day!
I have grey tiles in my bathroom that I largely ignored until this year...but with grey towels and polished nickel hardware it really looks good. We have two silver and one charcoal grey car, too...and I may or may not have grey hair.
