People always complain when I use grey. "It's English, we're American." Come on, people, that was over two hundred years ago, get over it. Besides, there's more of a difference between grey and gray than a vowel and an ocean.
Grey is, well, grey: a combination of black and white, but it's got a light tan in it that makes it a light slatey color. The color of old Roman roads and Scottish walls.
Gray has blue in it, making it darker and wetter than grey. The color of Rocky Mountains in the distance and Pacific clouds.
When I mean grey, I'll say grey. When I mean gray, I'll say gray. Get off my back for having a language.

I've mentioned I prefer grey to gray, haven't I? I don't remember. It sounds right. Gray sounds wrong/looks wrong. There's nothing else to it.
