This article is about the color; for other uses of "grey", see Grey (disambiguation).
For other uses of "gray", see Gray (disambiguation
Grey or Gray (see spelling differences) is the color of dull things that would otherwise be seen as white. It is a color seen commonly in nature. In pigment, or subtractive color (CMYK), it is created by adding black. In light, or additive color (RGB), it is created by adding equal amounts of R, G, and B, with R,G,B greater than 0% and less than 100% (greater than 0 and less than 255, in the 8-bit notation commonly used in computing). Depending on the color temperature of the light (measured in kelvins of a black body radiator), the human eye can interpret the same object as either grey or some other color, with colder light adding a yellow-orange hue and warmer light adding a blue hue.

Two colors are called complementary colors if grey is produced when two colors are combined. Grey is its own complement. Consequently, grey remains grey when its color spectrum is inverted, and therefore has no opposite, or alternately is its own opposite.

I think Gray is an American derivation of the word grey. They are both right.

Either word is fine but Gray does describe the colour better.
