    I like to imagine this caused the misprint silver borders in FtA.

    Too funny. "Grey" is the British English spelling; "gray" is the American English spelling. Only a color (or should that be "colour" Razz) swatch company would differentiate between the two, but why wouldn't they? Happy

    Curiously, due to the description of gray elves from the MM1 as preferring silvers among their colors, I had always pictured in my head the silvery hue as "gray" and the darker charcoal color as "grey"---which also fit my sense of how Greyhawk should fall in the middle of black and white: the land where Neutrals are king (so to speak).

    And imagine us, all debating the subtle differences between these two colors---what a surprise! :D :D :D
