Grey and silver: the colours of a metal laptop
Many laptops are grey or silver, and accessories in the same shades look as if they came in the box. A silver aluminium stand under a silver laptop, a grey hub beside it and a grey sleeve to carry it in make a set that does not draw the eye. Grey is also a practical colour for bags and sleeves: lighter than black, and better than white at hiding the marks of being carried.
How a product gets onto this page
Products are filed here by the colours they are offered in. A product that comes in grey or silver, as one of its colour choices or in its own name, is on this page, and on the page for each of its other colours too. Every shade of both is filed here: grey, gray, space grey, graphite, dark grey, sand grey and silver. So the first photo on a product may show another colour. Choose grey or silver from the choices on the product page before you add it to your basket.
Some products are two-tone, such as a black and grey keyboard, and are on this page and the black one.

Matching a grey or silver laptop
Grey varies more than any other colour. A maker's "space grey" may be warmer or darker than your laptop's, and silver can be bright and polished or soft and brushed. Where a product has a photo for each colour choice, look at the one you are choosing, and compare it in daylight with your laptop rather than under a lamp.
If an exact match matters, metal matches metal best: an aluminium stand or hub picks up the finish of an aluminium laptop in a way plastic does not. The aluminium page gathers them.
Questions people ask about grey and silver laptop accessories
Why is a product on this page shown in black?
Because grey or silver is one of the colours it comes in, and its first photo shows another. Open the product and choose grey or silver from its colour choices.
Will a skin change my laptop's colour?
Yes. A skin is a thin vinyl sticker cut to the laptop's shape. It changes the colour and guards the finish against scratches, but not against knocks. The guide to privacy and protection explains.
How long does delivery take?
