First Guy, now you - clear evidence that these list shenanigans are too much
for the human brain!  ;)  If that's Scheme, I think you mean:

	'#0=("white" "grey" . #0#)

Ever since I first saw it, I've liked the way lazy languages allow you to
achieve the same end, e.g. in Haskell:

	colors = "white" : "grey" : colors

It's a very direct expression of the desired result.
