Check with Wikipedia (or Hercule Poirot!):
"Most brains exhibit a visible distinction between grey matter and white matter. Grey matter consists of the cell bodies of the neurons, while white matter consists of the fibers (axons) that connect neurons. The axons are surrounded by a fatty insulating sheath called myelin, giving the white matter its distinctive color. The outer, visible layers of the brain are the cortex, and consist mainly of grey matter."
Hope this answers it fully for you!

There are two major types of cells in the brain. The "gray" cells on the outside and the "white" cells on the inside. It would appear that "thinking" (whatever that is) takes place in the area of the gray cells.

Gray cells are the cells colored GREY in the brain.

the inner cells of the brain are grey in colour. That's why they're called grey cells.
