Gray is a neutral color halfway between black and white, without shading from any other color. It is a common color for metallic facades, and not uncommon for painted facades. Some forms of stone, especially granite, slate, and lighter shades of basalt, may also be gray.
Hex triplet: 808080
The absence of a discernible tint distinguishes this shade from bluish slate or faintly greenish ash. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
