Shades of Gray

At my house, laundry is a task performed on a grand scale. Laundry in college is to laundry at home as the Erie canal is to the Panamanian one. While in college I divide clothes into whites and colors (sometimes, if I haven't done laundry in a while, I go crazy and separate light colored clothes from dark colored clothes), at home there are many more baskets devoted to laundry, and those baskets are put to good use. Each basket houses a different shade or hue, and the color differentiation is impressive and daunting. I have to be honest, when I sort laundry from a hamper at home I always have clothes where I am not sure what basket they should go into. Is an olive green light green or is it a dark green that should go with tans? These types of decisions are very hard for me: its hard for me to just choose a basket and I often instead take shortcuts by leaving the clothes I am unsure about in the bottom of the hamper I am clearing out. Call me an unthinking, spineless perfectionist but I am going to say it like I prefer to see it: sometimes shades of gray are off-putting.
