like blonde and blond, gray and grey are used differently if referring to hair color

eg: you would say the sky is grey today, but you'd say the old man's hair has become gray

Same. I'm an American but when I was young I spelled it as grey, possibly because I had a friend with that last name. I've been using it since and haven't gotten into any trouble yet. :ssh:
