From the
Gray and grey are both common spellings of the color between black and white. Gray is more frequent in American English, whereas grey is more common in British English. The varying usage of both grey and gray extends to specialized terms such as animal species (gray/grey whale) and scientific terms (gray/grey matter). Greyhound is an exception, which has a different derivation than the color.
It's a 'color' vs 'colour' kind of thing. Use whichever one makes you happy.

I always use "grey" just to get people fired up.
"Gray" was used in early America as one of countless ways to say "we're different from England now."
A group of early sjw influencers got a newspaper to start using it, and the sheep all just sort of went along with it without question until it became a "this is sparta" sort of dog whistle for the "this is murica" group.
Source: sounds good.

I use both, gray is for a dark gray and grey is for a light grey. I don't know the roots of the differences but I'd bet like most americanisms gray is probably how it was spelled by the settlers that came over and more likely to have been the common spelling 300-400 years ago when they left britain.
