Grey has a lot of color in it especially if it was created by mixing
complements.
When a color is placed next to grey the color pops and brings out the
nuances
of color within the grey. Grey is a powerful color. I believe having
students
create a colorwheel of neutrals/greys using complements is worthwhile.
Then grey is indeed "on the colorwheel".
