No its not about that book or the film adaptation

It is almost a year since we re branded  eyelines with shop refit – new logos – new website and new colours , and we feel that it has been a very successful change.

What has been very evident over the last year – and prior to that – is just how many businesses and shops are now using grey in their colour schemes or as a colour for a shop-front. Maybe John Major was correct about Grey

eyelines have two different shades of grey in our logo and a third as our main shopfront colour.

 

Walking around Sevenoaks yesterday I could see that a lot of other companies have had a similar idea – maybe not 50 shades but certainly a lot of them:  samples below

(Thanks to Hanna @ Ditto my colour guru for lending me the Pantone Cards)

 

And as for grEy or grAy it depends on what side of the Atlantic you hail from and that is irrelevant for the book as the Grey in the book is of course a Surname.
