Everyone had seen the phone line repair man but no one noticed him. Qjs

Go and search in plain clothes and in couple minutes you´ll have a talk with LEOs ("Honestly, I am looking for tupperware"). Wear a high visibility vest in neon orange and no one takes notice. It is all about presenting a familiar view. _________________________ If it isn´t broken, it doesn´t have enough features yet.

Being gray is not about wearing a specific color, but about wearing attire and carrying yourself such that you blend and aren't noticed. Gray is also attitude. Look like you belong.

I always interpreted it as a concept that meant "don't stand out". So if the crowd is all wearing fluorescent orange, then that is a good choice for you to wear as well. "Gray man" is a figurative term, not a literal one, that really shouldn't require an explanation.
