Anything can be recycled into black, because carbon is the cheapest source of
black colorant (with the added benefit of being naturally UV resistant), and it
will overpower any previous colors. This did get me thinking, though, that the
greys got colder, and brown got warmer. If blue tones are being added to the
greys, and red tones are being added to brown, that could explain the wonky
results.
