Im designing a dress for a Halloween Costume, and I cant figure out if the color is gray, or grey. Does it matter? How do you spell the color? I know either way, they will know what Im talking about, but now Im curious. Is there a wrong way and a right way to spell the color? I have a marker that says gray, but I could have sworn I saw a crayon that said grey.

Both are acceptable. "Grey" is chiefly a British spelling, whereas "gray" is normally used in American English.

I prefer grey over gray, too. I however, do not spell color as colour, etc.

You're safe to use either. I'm positive no one will question the design, and ask what color your using if you choose one over the other.

Britify your whole sentence and spell it colour too.
I hate American spelling, gray looks awfully like gay, just sayin'. |

Grey is a colour.
Gray is a color. I like grey better, too, and spell it that way. |
