How do you spell that color ranging from black to white? Here's a general explanation.
grAy is how it's spelled in America
grEy is how it's spelled in England
Since I live in America I'll stick with grAy. But either way, gray is one of those almost non-colors. Unless I need it for a specific design purpose it's not too high on my "gotta have" list. Reminds me of winter.
Nature displays gray in a wide range of textures and intensities. I can almost feel the grain on the crosscut timber and the smooth or rough bark of these two tree close-ups taken on a recent trip to North Carolina.
Gray is found in all five of my quilts about our five senses. For full images of these quilts see the Gallery of Quilts/Simply Sensational(series) or type a quilt title in the search box at the top left of home page.

I look on gray as that shade that helps give depth to our perceptions. How is that for early morning profundity! :)
