Dull hide, like a rhino's tough grey skin, worn smooth.
Rhinoceros is a neutral grey.
It can be described as neutral, medium, colorless and almost grey.
Set in black, because black reads best on it.
A rhinoceros, commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species of odd-toed ungulates (perissodactyls) in the family Rhinocerotidae. It is the only living family in the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea. Two of the extant species, the black rhinoceros and the white rhinoceros are native to Africa, while the other three, the Javan rhinoceros, Indian rhinoceros and Sumatran rhinoceros are native to South and Southeast Asia.
Read on WikipediaRhinoceros is a play by playwright Eugène Ionesco, written in 1959. The play was included in Martin Esslin's essay on post-war avant-garde drama "The Theatre of the Absurd", although scholars have also rejected this label as too interpretatively narrow. Over the course of three acts, the inhabitants of a small, provincial French town turn into rhinoceroses; ultimately the only human who does not succumb to this mass metamorphosis is the central character, Bérenger, a flustered everyman figure who is initially criticized in the play for his drinking, tardiness, and slovenly lifestyle and then, later, for his increasing paranoia and obsession with the rhinoceroses. The play is often read as a response to and criticism of the sudden upsurge of Fascism and Nazism during the events preceding World War II, and explores the themes of conformity, culture, fascism, responsibility, logic, mass movements, mob mentality, philosophy and morality.
