Grey (colour) : ウィキペディア英語版
Grey

Grey or gray (see spelling differences) is an intermediate color between black and white. It is a neutral or achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color "without color".〔''Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language'', Third College Edition.〕 It is the color of a cloud-covered sky, of ash and of lead.〔''Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'', 5th edition, 2002.〕
The first recorded use of ''grey'' as a color name in the English language was in AD 700.〔Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 196〕 ''Grey'' is the dominant spelling in European and Commonwealth English, although ''gray'' remained in common usage in the UK until the second half of the 20th century.〔
〕 ''Gray'' has been the preferred American spelling since approximately 1825, although ''grey'' is an accepted variant.
In Europe and the United States, surveys show that grey is the color most commonly associated with conformity, boredom, uncertainty, old age, indifference, and modesty. Only one percent of respondents chose it as their favorite color.〔Heller, Eva, ''Psychologie de la Couleur'', p. 224-242〕
==Etymology==
