| Click beetle gray |
As an art teacher and fan of Mid-Century Modern design, I'm a connoisseur of gray. Like the Inuits describing snow, fifty seems a small number for the distinctions of gray.
In art class we call the project a value study. I'm not a prude. I've read lots of reviews for the bestsellers, but they do not tempt me. It's interesting that gradations and degradations both pop to mind.

I'm relieved to know that scum and mildew are artistic hues. Makes cleaning house seem philistinic (is that a word? If so might it be in that crossword puzzle?)
Oh, thank you for the many shades of gray in words & pix. Likewise, on the scum and mildew point that Kim makes! And my daughter said her friend recommended that 50 Shades of Gray book, and the same friend recommended Hunger Games and she liked that, so she wants to read it, and I am afraid to nix the idea because it might motivate her all the more, so I am ignoring the issue. Heh. I'm in a sort of gray area.
