a blue day.
a dark gloomy day.
a disconsolate winter landscape.
a series of dreary dinner parties.
a week of rainy depressing weather.
children in somber brown clothes.
drab faded curtains.
grim rainy weather.
her drab personality.
life was drab compared with the more exciting life style overseas.
sober Puritan grey.
the dark days of the war.
the first dismal dispiriting days of November.
