Light Gray Banner

What is a Light Gray Banner?

A Light Gray Banner is a decorative and customizable block in Minecraft that allows players to create unique patterns using dyes and a loom. With its subtle and neutral shade, it is often used for modern, medieval, and industrial-themed builds. Its softer tone makes it a great alternative to White and Gray Banners for designs that require a more muted appearance.
