[Johns] came to California for a week and the weather was bad.  A friend drove him to the airport and apologized for the gray and gloomy weather.  "That's all right,' he said, 'Gray is my favorite color.'"  (Michael Crichton, Jasper Johns, Whitney Museum of American Art, Harry N. Abrams, New York, 1977, revised edition 1994, p. 16)
