Can anyone possibly pass along what color the term "Georgia gray" represents?

Thanks!

Georgia Grey looks like a variety of Cloth. The ad pictured above is William F Herring a prominent Atlanta businessman. He donated a large sundial supposed to still be in Atlanta today. His son in law was Major William Austin Leyden who went into business with Mr. Herring. Some of Herring's sons also served. I will keep looking for a description for Georgia Grey but it looks like there are other varieties as well. I am more familiar with Georgia Clay, a red pigment that stains your clothes and never comes out.

There was also a Tuscaloosa Grey. Gen R E Lee's hat was made in Tuscaloosa and was Tuscaloosa Grey but that's for another thread.
