dark grey

Ash without light

Dark grey is a shade of grey closer to black than to white, suggesting shadow, overcast skies, or industrial materials.

The spelling grey is more common in British English, while Americans typically write dark gray.

The color often connotes seriousness, sophistication, or bleakness: dark grey storm clouds, a dark grey suit.
