*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*
This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.
To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.

Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.
Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Get the greysmug. The Grey Net is area of the internet where a person can find the types of things or information that are not necessarily illegal to possess but are illegal to use, assemble, combine, or have in public. Things like illegally high powered laser pointers mislabeled to appear safe, a silencer for your gun that only needs a couple holes drilled to function, ED medications without a prescription, or a set of universal heavy equipment keys for 14.99. The Grey Net is simply the shady area of the internet, the dark web's somewhat more responsible brother.
