gray out
Make options unavailable
Gray out means to make something appear faded or unavailable, typically in computer interfaces where menu items or buttons become dimmed to indicate they can't currently be selected: The save button is grayed out until you make changes.
The term extends to any visual dimming or loss of clarity.
In aviation, a gray out is a partial loss of vision from reduced blood flow to the eyes during high G-forces—less severe than a full blackout.
