Grey or gray (see spelling differences) describes any color between black and white. Collectively, white, black, and the range of greys between them are known as achromatic colors or neutral colors. Greys are seen commonly in nature and fashion. Grey paints can be created by mixing complementary colors (that is colors directly opposite on the color wheel, e.g. yellow and violet). In the RGB color model used by computer displays, it is created by mixing red, green, and blue light. Images which consist wholly of neutral colors are called monochrome, black-and-white or greyscale


Spelling Differences:

Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, pace Dr. Johnson and others,[76] and is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries. Canadians tend to prefer grey. 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."

The word grey is a variant of gray. However, Grey would be a biographical name. Hope this helps.
