Originally they were two separate words.

Gray denotes colour, while Grey is the surname.

Today both are taken to mean the colour.

 

[AreaCode707]

Gray is American spelling, Grey is British spelling. I prefer Grey.

Everyone here has their own opinion, it seems, but I dont think it makes any difference. In other words, if you're typing a paper, use whichever, I doubt you'll get marked for it.
