Gray Window in The Gray Light

There's so many references to the color grey in The Road that I just had to choose one otherwise this blog would be overran with them. By the way,I prefer the spelling of grey to be "g-r-e-y", but it is acceptable spelled both ways. When using quotes from books, I'll be using the spelling in context.

"He sat by a gray window in the gray light in an abandoned house in the late afternoon and read old newspapers while the boy slept" -The Road by Cormac McCarthy (pg. 28)
