Clouds consist of small water droplets. The size of those droplets vary. If the droplets are small, the cloud appears white. If they are big, the cloud appears grey. This has to do with the fact that different sizes of water droplets scatter the light differently.
Clouds also often appear more grey than white if they are large (horizontally and vertically), since less sunlight comes through.
(Well, actually, not all clouds consist of water droplets. Some consist of small ice crystals, or a mix of water droplets and ice crystals. Ice crystals generally make the cloud look white, rather than grey.)

Depends on possition in relation to the sun and density of each cloud.

Because they are denser. They have more water molecules packed more tightly in them and this makes it more difficult for light to pass through them, giving them the appearance of being darker.

the type of cloud and the amount water they are holding along with the pressure of the air.

They have less light on them. Usually because of shadows.
