Building with it

Light gray comes from an azure bluet, an oxeye daisy or a white tulip, or from mixing gray with white, or black with two white. Three separate flowers give it, which makes it easier to gather than its position in the colour tree suggests.

In practice

Three separate flowers give light gray directly, which is unusual: azure bluet, oxeye daisy and white tulip. That means a single flower forest supplies it without any mixing, and mixing is also possible from gray and white or black and two white.
