Ever heard of “eingengrau”?

It’s a visual phenomenon created by our eyes and brains when we close our eyes. It it literally born from perception; an illusion created by our eyes in total darkness. So, it isn’t real, and it isn’t found in any palette. A rough translation would be “intrinsic grey”. It’s unique to every person. It isn’t repeated. Which makes it very personal. It’s the intimate moment when you close your eyes and see the static.

Eigengrau tell us that even in absolute darkness, we see something.

I’ve told you about it, because I keep asking myself: What’s the most beautiful word in the world?  It’s probably one that hasn’t been created. It’s most probably one that you will create. One that reflects your imagination, inner strength. It is exclusively made for you.

And if you haven’t thought of it yet, it is waiting for you; so why don’t you think it through?

Love, R. ♡
