what's the difference between GRAY and GREY?

Answer 1

only the vowel choice

Answer 2

The spelling - I know that sounds very patronizing, but it's true.

I used to live on Gray Street. Most of the time I see the color spelled grey. I have asked many times and the answer I get is - If you are referring to the color, it doesn't really matter. The spelling only matters when Grey/Gray is a name. Then you MUST spell it correctly.

Answer 3

Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, and is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries. Canadians tend to prefer grey. 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."
