Grey is neither black nor white. “It is the transition between two non-colors. The closer gray gets to black, the more dramatic and mysterious it becomes. The closer it gets to silver or white, the more illuminating and lively it becomes (Scott-Kemmis, np).” The gradient of the gray on the background reinforces the message of the image because grey has no energy or excitement. “It is a color of maturity and responsibility, associated with the gray hair of old age.

Uncle Henry’s beard and boots were gray and he sat on the door-step looking at the sky that was “grayer than usual” (Baum 14). Gray was also used to show the character’s feelings. Aunt Em was worried and Uncle Henry was tired from working. Life was already “gray”, gloomy and depressing and then the cyclone hit.

Colours are more important than they are give credit for. A viewers eye quickly catches a bright colour against monotonous background than a blended in color. Its almost human psychology, you notice a man in a bright yellow shirt in a crowded street than a white or grey shirt that blends into the crowd. Use this to your advantage and follow the contrasting colours for best effect. The good thing about colours is that they deeply affect the mood of people. Yellow is believed to elevate people and make them merrier whereas red is believed to be exciting. Talk about manipulating people!

The neutral colors include black, gray and brown. Black is worn to funerals, but black is also worn by people who thinks it makes them look “slim.” Exactly right there is where people get the good and bad feelings from the color black.
