50 Shades of Graytall

50 Shades of Graytall is a megawad of 18 levels built around the design constraint of using only three textures for walls (namely, , and ). Despite this limitation, the challenge was to create levels that were aesthetically pleasing and offered interesting gameplay. The project was led by Marcaek. Each map was allowed to use one flat of the author's choice as well as. In addition, further textures could be used on non-visible parts (such as the upper and lower textures of a one-sided line) so as to achieve special effects, such as switch sounds (a line only provides audible feedback when activated if it has a switch texture) and sky transfers.

The texture set originates from a joke answer to the question "". DOORTRAK serves a functional purpose but looks ugly when used on spans longer than 16 map units, FIREBLU is often named as one of the ugliest textures in Doom, and GRAYTALL is sometimes thought of as "the original placeholder texture" since it appeared often in the alpha versions of maps to disappear in most of their final versions.
