Grey
Or gray for that matter - I always wondered why the heck Americans and English never agreed on certain words spelling, I mean, it’s just a word! I tend to use English vocabulary more often though. After all, I was taught by English peeps.
Anyway, back to topic.
I was recently assigned a project to work on for a local community, nothing fancy. Just a bunch of wise fellows whom decided to start a community for their college - round of applause for them we should give. I was supposed to work on the development part mostly (well, I was supposed to work only on the development part, I’m just making it sound better that way, heh) and a friend of mine should have done the design of the website. She got pretty busy in the last couple of days (which shouldn’t be a problem to me, designing should never be an obstacle for a developer) and when I was coding my way through the website I got pretty bored (well, and tired too) and decided to give the design a go - heh, better should I have known.
I ended up making a terrible mess. The colours were absolutely awful and the thing had no harmony whatsoever. If I were a user and I visited one website which design is one of my own I would probably advice me to never come near a computer again, heh, yeah, I’m that bad. Although I know I have good taste, or at least that’s what I think I have - with black. Only. Black, and its shades. Only. What kind of designer am I. I should stick to being just a developer? 
The thing I noticed, is that I have good taste with assigning a shade of black to a font somewhere on my work. I don’t have a problem in adding little pieces of anything anywhere on any website I have worked on, I simply give it a shade of black/white. My choice of font is satisfactory however, oh well, I cannot work with colours. (The spell checking mechanism is starting to bother me, what’s wrong with colours? I think it needs to install a second dictionary, hold on. Haha, fixed! Let US spelling go bite my rear.)
Anyway. So I gradually changed bits and pieces of the design to grey shades, and when I was finally satisfied with how the thing looks (after all, it was just something that only I will ever interact with) I realized it. It was grey, only.
So to sum it all up, I’m a person that is absolutely colour-less! Heh, like I care. Thanks for dropping by =)
