Grey: Hot or Not?

After being "officially" released on the New Features board on April 9th, the grey paint brush was a complete hit, both able to express style and wealth to whomever owned one. Practically everyone rushed to get one, somewhere and somehow! However, price was an issue for many of us whose pockets were little less filled *glances at her empty piggy bank*. Ranging from millions to not even buyable at all, this paint brush is a classic symbol of power and over-the-top Neo-extremes. Anyone with a pet painted this color is immediately seen as rich and classy. Plus, it's only available in few species! This, my friends, is a hot item you won't want to be seen without.

NOW, you may be asking yourself, Why bother saving up for months to get one?! Well, there are PLENTY of perks to enjoy from grey! C'mon, this is what this whole articles about. So, here are my 50 reasons why you should save up your Neopoints in order to buy this (literally) one-in-a-million brush of perfection:
