Personality Color Gray
While you may not exhibit all the traits of a personality color gray as listed here, if this is your favorite color you will find yourself somewhere in the description. You may also find you exhibit some of the negative traits, particularly when you are stressed.
If Your Favorite Color is Gray
If this is your favorite color, you are neutral about life, often to the point of being indifferent.
If you love gray, you are trying to protect yourself from the chaotic outside world, even to the point of isolating yourself from others, leaving you with the feeling that you don’t really fit in or belong anywhere.
As a personality color gray, it is important for you to maintain the status quo – you prefer a safe, secure and balanced existence and never desire much excitement. You will usually compromise in order to keep the balance and stability you so desperately seek.
You are practical and calm, do not like to attract attention and are simply seeking a contented life.
With gray as your favorite color, you are the middle of the road type, cool, conserved, composed and reliable. You tend to conform just to keep the peace.
Being a personality color gray, you are attracted to this neutral, non-emotional color as it controls and contains your energy – you just don’t show excitement or enthusiasm about anything much in your life.
You are a hard worker who just gets on with the job that has to be done – you tend to be committed and loyal to your work whatever it may be.
You often add a splash of color to your grey look, to show that you aren’t all that dull.
You tend to be indecisive, lacking confidence – a fence-sitter who finds it difficult to make choices in most situations in your life.
When operating from a negative perspective of a personality color gray you will be restrained in your actions, often putting a pessimistic slant on things.
You like to be in control of your emotions and avoid experiencing emotional pain by shutting off from your emotions.
You may be feeling stressed and over burdened, and looking for a rest, a break from the stresses of your everyday life – gray will protect you.
You tend to make fair and balanced judgments, and may be a good critic, because of your emotional detachment.
You prefer to not get involved – you are quite independent and may be quite individual in your attitude, although you lack imagination and creativity – this may give you a narrow outlook and may prevent you being open to new ideas and opportunities – the opportunities are there, you just have to embrace them.
With a personality color gray you may be a self-sufficient, unemotional dedicated worker in your business life and a lonely indecisive person in your private life.
The Deepest Need of a Personality Color Gray
Your Deepest Need is to create balance in all areas of your life, to be respected for who you are and to find your place in the world with a deep feeling of belonging.
If you dislike gray:
You dislike neutrality, would rather be right or wrong, but never indifferent.
You are confident with your opinions and find decision making easy.
Routine bores you – you need a richer more fulfilling life.
You need more stimulation of the senses that color brings.
You may be the type of person who pursues one interest after another in your pursuit of happiness.
Grey can also be associated with loss or depression and can also influence the mind and body by triggering unsettling emotions. Because grey is a mix of both black and white, the meaning of the color can shift – darker shades closer to black can be more cryptic, while lighter shades closer to white can be more enlightening. Darker shades such as charcoal grey evokes similar strength of black, but lacks the negativity associated with the color black while light greys carry some of the same qualities of the color white. Grey is also considered both a male and female color. Light greys are considered feminine, while dark greys are considered masculine.
Grey can be used in workings to carry the energy of dignity and respect. You can use the grey color energy of stones to get through a difficult time or instill strength and endurance in spell work. Use in magic to achieve balance, for attuning to the spirit realm, or to realize peace and patience. Consider using grey candles to represent ancestors when doing ancestor work. Grey is an excellent color to use in workings to conceal or attain invisibility (as in being unnoticed), and in dream magic.
Grey in the Occult
The color grey can also be seen throughout themes in the occult from demonolatry to different magickal practices to pagan mythology. Below are a few examples of this:
Leviathan
The creation demon Leviathan is associated with the color grey. He represents the flow of life, dealing with emotions, the passing of fear, judgment, detecting lies, and faith. Leviathan judges whether baneful work is warranted.
Void Magic
Void magick is about going above and beyond forms of defined beliefs and belief systems and is a step beyond chaos magick. Void magick is about working with the undefinable. Some imagine void as dark, while some envision it as transparent power. Using what’s known as “void enchantment”correspondences helps to visualize and direct thought to tap into the void and direct that energy. Grey candles are often used for this purpose.
Grey matter is also tapped into to create a “personal magickal reality”. This reality is often morphing and changing, requiring a constant programming and absorbing of grey matter to allow this subconscious “truth” to come through perceived reality.
The Graeae Sisters of Greek Mythology
The Graeae were three sisters – daughters of the sea deities Phorcys and Ceto. The were known as the “Grey Ones” and were usually depicted as three old women. They were believed to have been born grey, and they shared one eye and one tooth between them.
The Graeae were keepers of a secret – the location of the caves of the Gorgons, their sisters. They are most known from the story of Perseus and his pursuit of the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus was able to force the location of Medusa out of them by taking their eye.

A Grey Aura
For those that can see auras, you will sometimes come across someone with a grey aura. This can mean that the person is beginning to become aware of any gifts and abilities they were born with. It also can indicate depression or grief. A grey aura is also indicative that the person deals with dark thoughts and vague intentions – in essence there is a presence of a dark side of his/her personality.
Large amounts of grey can mean this person is very secretive. Dark grey can indicate a fear building up. It can also mean there’s a possible health problem and imbalance – especially if grey clusters are seen in specific parts of the body. Dirty grey overlay can indicate blocked energies and guardedness.
