Didn't really like them.
I understand the thinking behind it at the time, but it was an unnecessary change.
I thought the way Geoff Johns explained them was particularly clever.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
wasn't expecting this page to reach this long... and so closely tied.
I went gray in my teens. I have Obama hair now. It is tough for people to pinpoint my age, lol.
You could actually get some great comedic moments out of that.
I can imagine some bwah-hah-hah moments when Bruce and other teammates starts noticing Hal with gray hair. People around Hal may start to subtlety freak out thinking he's been infected with the yellow bug again when it's only nature taking its course.
I could even see Sinestro trying to verify that Parallax (or some part of it) did not return to Hal.
All the while, Hal is wondering what the hell is wrong with everybody!
I started going gray as a teen, but it stalled out before it got too far. But once my daughter was born five years ago.....oh yeah, it's making up for lost time. My beard is almost completely gray and my head is halfway there.
I really need someone better at comedy than I am to write this now.You could actually get some great comedic moments out of that.

While I voted "no opinion," if I had to made a choice between the two, I would have voted against the gray.

Sabotage or not , I would be greatly surprised if the vast majority of pro-gray people placed Hal over either Kyle or John as their favorite GL.

Well, my apathy for Hal is known, and I did like the gray temples......

I've had gray in my hair and in my goatee since I was 28 (shrug). I never saw it as depicting Hal as "old". I just saw it as a cool design choice when artists didn't go overboard with the size of the streaks.

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
