GREY became the established British spelling in the 20th century, and is but a minor variant in American English. Some American writers 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."

They are not synonymous. The are the same word with different spellings. Gray for US...grey for UK and snooty Americans. The same goes for theater and theatre or catsup and ketchup. Same thing...different spelling, although I think Heinz concocted his spelling to differentiate his product.

I'm an American, and I use both spellings sometimes, although I agree with chopra that they have different connotations. Funny, though, I would think of "gray" as more positive and "grey" as more melancholy.

The only difference is that one is the American spelling and the other is the English spelling.

Yes, they are synonomous, "gray" is American, "grey" is Canadian/British.
