Grey/Gray???

Question

This sounds stupid but what's the difference between gray and grey?? I've just thought about this now hahaha!

Answer 1

Grey is British English used by most English speaking countries.

Gray is American English used in the USA.

They both mean - of a mixture of colour between black and white.

It's similar to neighbour, harbour, colour, defence, travelling, jewellery and many other words.

The Americans spell those words differently too.

Answer 2

They're just two different spellings of the same word.  "Gray" is more common in America and "grey" in Britain, but you'll see both used in both places.

One more significant difference, however, is that the breed of dog is only spelled "greyhound" ("grayhound" is incorrect).  This is because the "grey-" in "greyhound" doesn't refer to the color.

Answer 7

Grey or gray (see spelling differences) describes any shade 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 equal amounts of red, green, and blue light. Images which consist wholly of neutral colors are called monochrome, black-and-white or greyscale.

Answer 10

I'm gray;  I'm grey.  Grey is a variation of gray.  (Merriam-Webster)

Answer 11

There is no difference, but the most common use is gray.

Answer 12

Gray is usually American English.

Grey is usually UK, Canadian, etc.

Both refer to the color shades between black & white.

"Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century, pace Dr. Johnson and others,[92] and is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries.

Canadians tend to prefer grey.

Non-cognate greyhound is never grayhound."
