Calm, cool, ready for anything.
The ultimate neutral for school, sport, or sleep.
Typical dye & modifiers: Tannin base from myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) or pomegranate, then iron (ferrous sulfate) as a modifier to shift to grey; mélange effect comes from fiber/yarn blending or heathered knitting.
Process: Scour → tannin pre-mordant → alum (optional) → dip in light tannin bath → iron after-bath to develop greys → rinse thoroughly to remove excess iron.
Care: Wash cold with like colors; avoid acidic/bleach agents that can shift tone.
Impact note: Iron-tannin greys avoid coal-tar greys and heavy salt effluents.
