Kurt Ralske wrote "Grey Turns White" for Joy 1967–1990, the second Ultra Vivid Scene album, which came out on May 7, 1990. His self-produced debut had done moderately well, so when he went back into the studio in November 1989 he handed the controls to Hugh Jones, a producer whose past work took in the Damned, Echo & the Bunnymen and Modern English, and filled out the sound with session players. Jones produced, engineered and mixed this one, with Helen Woodward sharing the mix and Guy Fixsen assisting.
Ralske meant the album's title to read like the words on a gravestone. Once it was done he recruited guitarist Collin Rae, drummer Byron Guthrie and bassist Josephine Wiggs and took Ultra Vivid Scene on tour for the first time that spring.
