greyness
Cloudy sky's hue
Greyness is the quality of being grey—dull, overcast, or lacking color.
British spelling of grayness.
The word extends to anything dreary or monotonous: the greyness of bureaucratic life, winter greyness settled over the city.
It can describe moral ambiguity—situations that aren't clearly right or wrong but exist in shades of grey.
