Non-notable name for a shade of grey (or gray). Unsourced. No evidence that this has actually been used as the name of a hue in the real world. RGB values apparently pulled by article creator from one photo of an arsenic sample. bobrayner (talk) 21:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Color names are arbitrary and only become notable when they have received significant coverage in reliable sources. This article is unreferenced and should be kept only if such reliable sources are produced. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:29, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I have attempted to search for any reliable source coverage for this commercial term, and have not had any luck. This fails WP:GNG. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete all. Color names are chosen arbitrarily and different at each paint manufacturer. There is no standard on what each color should be named (if anything, colors are defined by a Pantone number). Moreover, some of these color articles have no content other than a weak dicdef (WP:NOTDIC). The articles on the primary colors could have a list of names of some common shades of that color. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
