Gianni Versace

I had a job; I was, during the war, a nurse, a 'Gray Lady.' We wore a veil and a gray dress.

Brooke Astor

The Moon is essentially gray - no color - looks like plaster of paris - soft of gray sand.

Jim Lovell

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.
