"It's a gray company" :(

If am right or I am wrong, or If I am missing some other examples of the word gray, please let me know.

Note spelling: grey or gray. :wink: (US gray)

Mixing white with black gives grey; grey area, fuzzy area; neither white nor black, somewhere between the two.

"I think we're going to have a gray year" (financially fuzzy) :D
"He's a gray politician" :(
"It's a gray company" :(

All the best, :D
