i can't believe no one has commented this.

BLUE OCTOBER IS THE BEST. this song is kind of difficult to interpret. it's going in so many different directions.

My colors run in blue and gray But they give hope to someone dear

my theory for that is that people expect things in black and white, but it can't always be that way, and sometimes it's better to see things in shades of gray.

I think this is a great interpretation. I also think its about literally painting and how the person is hopeful that they've picked up a constructive hobby. But I also feel this way because Justin talks about his alcohol addiction in other songs and his battle to overcome it.
