After years of being the 'it' neutral, grey may be on its way out By The Washington Post Elizabeth Mayhew There are a lot of things people are sick of these days: bad news, limited gatherings, Zoom calls, incessant cleaning and disinfecting, and, judging from the comments I see on social media, the colour grey. Whether it's a pale shade or a deep charcoal, grey seems to have overstayed its welcome. I get that many of you are sick of the colour, in all of its variations, especially given the gloomy year we've had. Grey-haters (or greyters, as I like to call them) complain that the colour is ubiquitous, and, to some degree, they're right. Walk into just about any design store, and you'll see swaths of grey upholstery, bedding and accessories.
