Comments on the clue
1.Very nice idea.
2.Difficult to solve! I wonder whether the 'finds' is appropriate or redundant.
3.Shame for me that it wasn't 'walls of grey', but lovely idea.
4.Unfortunately 'grey walls' is meaningless in the wordplay: by any sane logic it does not mean 'walls of grey'.
5.The wordplay really requires 'walls of grey' – perhaps " I want more ! " would be a less hesitant definition ?
