Grey cartoon characters

Grey is the quiet color — used sparingly on characters like Totoro, Batman, Tom Cat, and Bugs Bunny.

Why so much grey in animation?

Grey is rare as a signature cartoon color, used when a character should feel calm, stealthy, or naturalistic. It lets accent colors do the talking and works well for ink-line-heavy designs.
