This book is literally fifty shades of grey (or gray) paper. According to Wikipedia:In Europe and the United States, surveys show that grey (or gray) is the color most commonly associated with conformity, boredom, uncertainty, old age, indifference, and modesty. Only one percent of respondents chose it as their favorite color. COLOR: Is it GREY or GRAY?GREY or GRAY is an intermediate color between black and white. It is a neutral or achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color "without color."The first recorded use of GREY as a color name in the English language was in AD 700. GREY is the dominant spelling in European and Commonwealth English, although GRAY remained in common usage in the UK until the second half of the 20th century. GRAY has been the preferred American spelling since approximately 1825, although GREY is an accepted variant.This book starts with one BLACK page and ends with one WHITE page. In-between are 50, (FIFTY!) shades of grey paper. We'll reference the Photoshop RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color system.Using Photoshop, you get PURE BLACK when you completely remove all three colors (0, 0, 0). You get PURE WHITE when you mix fully saturated versions of all three colors together (255, 255, 255). You get a SHADE OF GREY (or GRAY) when you mix equal amounts of all three colors at percentages between 0 and 100 (or equal integers between 0 and 255).The RGB color system conveniently gives 256 points of color (0 to 255). 0,0,0 for BLACK and 255, 255, 255 for WHITE.That leaves 250 points in-between. Divided up by 50 shades means that each shade increased by an increment of 5. Photoshop color pallet included with each shade for quick and easy reference. Six-digit Photoshop Hex Codes included as well.
