Ironically the same thing just happened to me, and I am 28. It happened right after I quit my job to go back to school, one single stark white hair in the middle of the top of my black head of hair. I presume it's stress because there wasn't a serious change of diet or anything else, and I had just quit a stressful job and started stressing about the rest of my life.
Typically gray hair is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B, but when it is an instantaneous change like it was for me to a single stark white hair, I prefer to believe it was either being stressed or leaving a very stressful situation.
If you don't want it to spread try taking vitamin b supplements and massaging your scalp.

Are you asking why your hair is very dark, or why you've got a grey hair?
Different people get grey hair at different ages, different times and at different rates. It could be it's genetic (some people just grey prematurely - I knew someone at school who had salt-and-pepper hair at 17), it could be stress. Ask your dad when he got his first grey.
It doesn't mean that you'll be turning grey all of a sudden. You might not get another grey hair for months, or you could find a couple more this week. It's no reason to worry.
Have it plucked if it bothers you.

Could be stress, genetics... I know I got some after some major stress in my life and way too young.

Was it white or was it grey? White - you are turning into a skunk, grey - old man already. Either way - happy days.

When I was eleven I got that too. When you got one strand of white hair it means that you're not gonna be old like grannies. Or grandpas. Well, its just "LOST".

Perhaps stress.... or genetics. Nothing to be too concerned about.
