Grey or gray is an achromatic or neutral color.
Complementary colors are defined to mix to grey, either additively or subtractively, and many color models place complements opposite each other in a color wheel. To produce grey in RGB displays, the R, G, and B primary light sources are combined in proportions equal to that of the white point. In four-color printing, greys are produced either by the black channel, or by an approximately equal combination of CMY primaries. Images which consist wholly of neutral colors are called monochrome, black-and-white or greyscale.
The first recorded use of grey as a color name in the English language was in AD 700.Grey is the British, Canadian, Australian, Irish, New Zealand and South African spelling, although gray remained in common usage in the UK until the second half of the 20th century.Gray is the preferred American spelling, although grey is an accepted variant.Gray became the preferred spelling in American English around 1825.
Most grey pigments have a cool or warm cast to them, as the human eye can detect even a minute amount of saturation.[citation needed]Yellow, orange, and red create a "warm grey". Green, blue, and violet create a "cool grey". When there is no cast at all, it is referred to as "neutral grey", "achromatic grey" or simply "grey".
Macy Gray (born Natalie McIntyre, 6 September 1967 in Canton, Ohio, USA) is a Grammy Award-winning American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress, famed for her distinctive raspy voice, and a singing style heavily influenced by Billie Holiday and Betty Davis.
Gray has released six studio albums, and has received five Grammy Award nominations, winning one. She has appeared in a number of films including Training Day, Spider-Man, Scary Movie 3, Lackawanna Blues, Idlewild and For Colored Girls. Gray is best known for her international hit single "I Try," taken from her multi-platinum debut album On How Life Is.
Macy Gray, was born to Laura McIntyre, a math teacher, and Otis Jones; Laura later remarried Richard McIntyre, who adopted Macy and fathered her brother Nathon and sister Nehlia.[citation needed] Gray was born in Canton, Ohio, where she briefly worked at age 12, before being fired for lateness. She decided to pursue a career in music after being expelled from Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, which she had attended from the age of 14. However, Gray's initial success came as a surprise. While attending the University of Southern California (graduated 1990) she agreed to write songs for a friend, and a demo session was scheduled for the songs to be recorded by another singer. When the vocalist failed to turn up, Gray recorded them herself. She then met writer/producer Joe Solo while working as a cashier in Beverly Hills. Together, they wrote a large collection of songs and recorded them in Solo's studio. The demo tape landed Gray the opportunity to sing at jazz cafés in Los Angeles, California. Despite Gray's dislike of her own voice,Atlantic Records signed her. She began recording her debut record but was dropped from the label upon the departure of her A&R man Tom Carolan, who signed her to the label. In 1998, she landed a record deal with Epic Records. She was on one of the songs from The Black Eyed Peas' debut album, "Love Won't Wait".
Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are sometimes preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."
Ice cubes that are crushed or sheared into irregularly-shaped flakes may add an interesting aesthetic effect to some cocktails. Crushed ice is also used when faster cooling is desired, since the rate of cooling is governed by the number and average radius of the ice particles.
Melting ice cubes sometimes precipitate white flakes, commonly known as "floaties". This is calcium carbonate which is present in many water supplies and is completely harmless.[citation needed]
American physician and humanitarian John Gorrie built a refrigerator in 1844 with the purpose of cooling air. His refrigerator produced ice which he hung from the ceiling in a basin. Gorrie can be considered the creator of ice cubes, but his aim was not to cool drinks: he used the ice to lower the ambient room temperature. During his time, a dominant idea was that bad air quality caused disease. Therefore, in order to help treat sickness, he pushed for the draining of swamps and the cooling of sickrooms.
The right suit goes a long way.

Woke up this morning and I saw something strange
I thought I was still dreaming and I didn't see it change
Disunified nations, dancing to one song
Army in the street, giving the right beat
No books just TV, no one who seems to see
And everybody loks gray, they show no feelings
No emotions, just submission,
A sensation of dé?vu
No way to escape, this hell's all true
Better see it clear, the end's getting near
No books just TV, no one who seems to see
And everybody loks gray, they show no feelings
Woke up this morning, thinking I could keep on
Expecting better days, but good days are gone now
Stupid nazis-shit get more power
The past forgotten, now where's your heaven?
No books just TV, no one who seems to see
Every time that you call my name
It's a shame
And every time that we play this game
You're to blame
Just give me your undivided attention
That's all I'm asking
It seems all the time you're so confused
I don't need your affection
Well sometimes everyone sees gray
Well I don't need to change
Sometimes everyone sees gray
And every time that you're to blame
It's a shame
And every time that you feel ashamed
It seems so fake
Just look me in the eyes one time
That's all I'm asking
It seems all the time you're so confused
I don't need your affection
Well sometimes everyone sees gray
Well I don't need to change
Sometimes everyone sees gray
It's okay, yeah
Well I think I've hit the ground
But please don't get me wrong
I don't need to change
Well sometimes everyone sees gray
Well I don't need to change
Sometimes everyone sees gray
It's okay, yeah
Well sometimes everyone sees gray
You know I don't need to change
Sometimes everyone sees gray
It's okay, yeah
I don't need to change
I don't need to change
I don't need to change
I don't need to change
I don't need to change
Sometimes everyone sees gray
Sometimes everyone sees gray
Sometimes I feel a little bit gray in the autumn,
gray in the autumn
But I'm looking at things in a new way sitting in my skin
I'm getting up again
I got these words on the tip of my tongue
But they feel so numb, oh they feel so numb
So I'll march my feet to a different drum
Down the avenue
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going to take everything, everything
Take it to the start, give it a new lining, so it's so
Inviting
Sometimes I've forgetten why I was here
Driving out so far underneath the sky and stars
Its so easy to lose sight
When you're intoxicated from chemicals they make me numb
I got these words on the tip of my tongue
And they feel so numb, oh they feel so numb
So I'll march my feet to a different drum
Down the avenue
Tell you what I..m gonna do
Stars of grayCome take my soul awayI lost my wayCome take my soul awayMy soul away
Mountain of grayCome take my soul awayI've lost my wayCome take my soul awayMy soul away
Oh, oh, oh, sunOh, oh, oh, sunOh, oh, oh, sun
My soul awayMy soul away
Take me, take meMy soul awayTake me gray, my soul awayTake me, take me gray

You Am I - Gray

Drunk at Cannon Falls.
I never made the call
I had your number
It was chiselled on my hand and stained
Fell asleep to the line
Lyle sung "She's made up her mind"
Now I'm the twenty first descendant of the age and
I don't want it getting 'round town
'cause you'll kick my skinny ass if you ever saw me down
I can deny it 'til they all gone away
But I just don't think we'll ever get that other band together
Tried on all of your clothes
But even me and your girlfriend know
That there's only so much one guy
Can steal and so
We'll all choke on the slack
Try like hell to dream you back
Of the nothing I got
