Colors

Grey

The space between certainties

What it often means

Grey in a dream is the colour of the in-between — neither black nor white, neither yes nor no. It can mark ambiguity, neutrality, or a season drained of colour, depending on its tone. Sometimes it is dreary; sometimes it is the honest middle where real answers actually live.

When it tends to appear

  • When a situation refuses to be black or white
  • During flat, colourless, or in-between seasons
  • When you are sitting with ambiguity

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Where are you forcing a grey situation into black or white?

  2. 2

    Is the grey dreary, or is it honest neutrality?

  3. 3

    What colour has drained from your life, and why?
