As you know, I specialize in prompting up this species of van life that’s not off the grid so much as business oriented, still connected, yet nomadic.
I’d happily keep my BizMo in my driveway a lot of the time, as an auxiliary office, as long as it had power and WiFi and/or an optical hookup to CenturyLink (like the house does).
They say an obvious color, for my BizMo at any rate, would be Quaker Grey, because how I sometimes tout being a cliquish Quaker, and Quakers seem obsessed with grey, perhaps as a way of fading into the background in the 1600s, in order to emphasize their not assuming any high class high profile role, and yet not wanting to be seen as serfs or minions either.
Grey went with the practice of not hat doffing and not inflecting one’s tense to signify “addressing a superior” or “inferior” as the case might be; we were all equal (“egalitarianism”) which all sounds vaguely communist I realize, but Friends were into this long before Karl Marx was a gleam in Engel’s eye.
It pays to be practical however, and my eye strays to the neighbor’s Honda, which has a new kind of grey that set me off using color tools to find a name for it.
Ultimately I came up with this color: Lost in Time. As I wrote to one of my esteemed teams:
Yet after all that dinking around, I think this one has to be my favorite:

a6b2c7/ Lost in Time:
This cool, ashy blue, hex code #a6b2c7, evokes trust and security. Its dusty, unsaturated tone brings calmness and control. This shade suits designs in finance, technology, and healthcare. It conveys honesty and responsibility well for artists and designers.
