acctually, it can be spelt either way, depending on wether you want to use the Canadian or American spelling. But it really doesn;t matter which you use, as both are correct.

Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, pace Dr. Johnson and others, and is but a minor variant in American English. Some American writers[citation needed] tend to assign wistful, positive connotations to grey, as in "a grey fog hung over the skyline", whereas gray often carries connotations of drabness, "a gray, gloomy day."

both are correct depending on the use of the word gray used in reference to the color you get when you mix black and white paint and last but not least Grey used commonly as a last name

I prefer "Grey" when talking about the color. And I prefer "Gray" as in I am feeling gray or whatever that blahh.

They both are the same---have the same meanings of color or age----like"a gray, rainy afternoon" or that lady hair is gray(grey).

'gray' is the color on a crayon and 'grey' can be a last name or a feeling meaning to be indifferent

"gray" is the american spelling, and "grey" is the english spelling, though a lot of times the two are interchangeable.
