Word origin

The word 'grey' comes from the Old English word 'grวฃg', which is believed to have originated from Proto-Germanic *grayaz. The term has cognates in several other Germanic languages, such as 'grau' in German and 'grรฅ' in Swedish. Historically, the color grey has been associated with neutrality and balance, as it is an intermediary between black and white. The comparative form 'greyer' indicates an increase in the amount of grey observed in a particular object or scene. The evolution of the term reflects cultural perceptions of color, especially in art and fashion, where 'greyer' can convey subtleties in hue and tone.
