It can be spelled either way. Both are acceptable in the US. Gray is the more common here. In England "grey" is more common. This question was asked about 3 weeks ago. I checked the Websters Dictionary then and there were answers from the UK.

By the way if you are talking about hair, the same rule applies because you are describing the color of the hair.

Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, pace Dr. Johnson and others,[81] and is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries. Canadians tend to prefer grey. Non-cognate greyhound is never grayhound.

they are both correct. personally i spell it grey, but gray is correct too.
As for names, there are people with both spellings as well. But there you need to get it correct according to that individual.

GrEy is used more commonly in the U.K., but grAy is used more commonly in the U.S. However, either is acceptable in either country.
