Grey or gray (see spelling differences) is a colour between white and black. It is a colour seen commonly in nature and fashion. In pigment, or subtractive colour (CMYK), it is created by adding black. In light, or additive colour, it is created by adding equal amounts of red light, green light, and blue light,(RGB) with R,G,B greater than 0% and less than 100% (greater than 0 and less than 255, in the 8-bit notation commonly used in computing). Depending on the colour temperature of the light (measured in kelvins of a black body radiator), the human eye can interpret the same object as either grey or some other colour, with colder light adding a yellow-orange hue and warmer light adding a blue hue.
