My best friend's boyfriend is a "greige" - gray/beige. This is the word I now use to describe the bland, fade into the background people that I encounter. Typically, these people are white, but there are greiges of different ethnicities. My best friend's boyfriend is a greige of the white variety. He's an intelligent guy and he's seen and done things that would qualify as interesting, but there is a disconnect. He is introverted and though he makes jokes about it, he only seems to exist as an accessory, not a real person.
They've been dating for about a year and have been living together for a few months. He's a nice and dependable guy which is probably one of the main reasons he is a good boyfriend for my friend.
Ultimately, I guess what is most disappointing is that his friends are not going to contribute to our social circle because either he doesn't have any or they are greige as well.
