Notes on grey

[Test entry] Grey is often described as neutral, though the best greys are not neutral at all. They lean warm against concrete, blue under fluorescent light, and brown after years of dust and weather.

The 1300JP makes this especially clear. Mesh, suede, reflective trim, and rubber each interpret the same narrow palette differently. Wear widens those differences.
