*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 christie-greymug. grey (as a name) is a very beautiful, kindy and loving human. most of the time it is a name given by the person themselves, wich means they are mostly uncomfortable with their name/pronouns, so use they/them on them. if you have a grey in your life, please do never hurt them, it can cause deep deep depression.
