Like Southern California skies during June Gloom (4)

I believe the answer is:

gray

(Other definitions for gray that I've seen before include "Elegiac poet" , "Author of ballad opera" , "a bit gloomy for the Americans" , "dull for Americans" , "Midway between white and black" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
