Re: New paint scheme for Acelas

You don't seem to be able to read.

I said the "grey" in greyhound is not related to the color grey; it comes from Old English "grighund", with the "grig-" component theorized to come from Norse or Celtic words that mean "bright" or "fair" (even Gaelic "grian" for "sun" is theorized to be related), rather than the color "grey", which came from Anglo-Saxon graeg and is related to Germanic grau.
