Gothic was style of architecture and art that came from Germany. The Germans were the Visigoths, hence the term Gothic and Goth came from them. The Gothic Art form often included windows, gargoyles, and the stone work was generally grey (but not always). In my estimation, the grey of Gothic architecture works as a great backdrop to Stain Glass with its "riot of color," (Joselyn, A Knight's Tale). The beauty of the Gothic style is that it allows anything, candle light, stain glass, or figures of faith sparkle in contrast to the grey.
