Are we supposed to vote for the ones we like best, or the ones that look most gray? The Man Who was Thursday is my favorite here, but it is kinda yellowish...

The overall effect of The Man who was Thursday cover is gray, so that's fab but seeing Murdoch on this list(which is very gray here on my shelves)I will have to remove it.

Murdoch... I guess I didn't notice it.

Really I don't tend to think about the color of covers, other than to avoid ones that are pink if I can.

Grey is such a hard colour to pin down. I looked really hard at some on my shelves before deciding they weren't grey enough.

Grey is hard enough to pin down alright, like a thick fog.

Your choices blend in lovely, Darkpool. There is only one that doesn't fit and that is Little Big. I had placed an Iris Murdoch on the list but it really didn't look grey when places up against these.

I have also learnt something about myself - I spell grey, gray and gray/grey indiscriminately. It is not a stable four letter spelling in my 'gray matter'.

heheheheh

There is a pink list on GR which has not expanded to many entries - maybe publishers try to avoid that which could be deemed girly from the potential male audience. I entered 3 books there and two of those were Footprint Handbooks.

Although now that you have drawn my attention to it, I realize I do often remember the color of the covers when I think about the books. And it is very interesting how some look gray on their own but not next to others.
