7. Those green hints just really get me
8. Like, wow, such subtle hints
9. Oddly relaxing
10. Hints of green and blue!!
11. A strong contender for top 10
12. It in no way implies space and yet all I can think of is space cade
13. I'm starting to regret this but I do not regret choosing this color
14. Is it just me or do this samples look a little funky? Still lovely though

22. They should be
23. Ooh look, a nice hint of like a maroon-ish color
24. Better than the French

27. Wow, that was such a bad joke. I feel like I'm on
28. I bet your feelings towards me right now are rather
29. I promise I'm done with the jokes...for now
30. I wish I could walk straight into this color during finals week
31. I hope you don't think I'm taking this ranking lightly

49. This is not even slightly black, it's gray, and that's why it's bottom two
50. This is an excessive amount of green for a color that was filed under grays and blacks
Well, that's it, folks! The best 50 shades of gray I could find on the internet and all justly ranked. I would like to thank Sherwin-Williams, Valspar Paint, and Olympic for making this possible without any knowledge that they were. Also, PPG, but they need to step up their swatching game.
This took way longer than I care to admit and yet I feel like I enjoyed doing it much more than I would ever enjoy actually watching or reading "50 Shades of Grey."
