@LilyMae16: Gray is a historic British surname. I bet this spelling also applies to the colour.

@LilyMae16: Gray vs. grey
In a sense you're right.
Gray and grey are different spellings of the same word, and both are used throughout the English-speaking world. But gray is more common in American English, while grey is more common in all the other main varieties of English. In the U.K., for instance, grey appears about twenty times for every instance of gray. In the U.S. the ratio is reversed.
Leave it to the damn Yanks to change everything.
