everything This 'everything' is a bit awkward reading in this stanza to me, but I see it plays with the previous. I think it might be better if you cut 'things' above, and make 'everything', 'everythings'.
I've given you
the transformed browns and violets
so out of place I think you could make this line better. i.e 'colouring the grey' but something better than that.
