Ivy leaves. Strain selected for pale pigments (or whatever ivy has). This means reduced chlorophyll compared to the all-green relatives, and a greater risk of poor growth.

Very green ginger bud. No chlorophyll problems.

Mortar joints

Artsy mortar joints. Not all grey is (pure) grey. No chlorophyll issues.
