FIL: Isang uri ng magaspang na tela na karaniwang kulay abo; ang kulay na abo.
EN: coarse gray cloth; gray color
This is a deep cut. Think of the color of unpainted concrete or a cloudy, emo sky. In old-school tailoring, 'gris' was a type of sturdy, grayish fabric. Today, you'd probably only hear your lola or a historian use this word. Everyone else just says 'gray' or 'abo'.
From Spanish 'gris' (gray).
Very rare in modern conversation. 'Abo' is the common term for the color gray.
