THERE IS LIGHTNESS and darkness. Everyone knows that. There is a name for the shade that is neither light nor dark: grey. But there are multitudes of shades in between. No one has words for lightish grey or darkish light. Even the people who see more than black and white – the people who see the shades of grey – cannot comprehend the complexity of the colour spectrum. Remove one colour and a part of the world has been destroyed. You can add a little more light, maybe a dash of dark, but it will never replace the one colour that is no longer there.
