gray和grey在英语中都读作[grei]（英音）或[gre]（美音），它们是同义词，通常作为形容词使用，表示颜色上的灰色或偏灰。例如：

他的头发是灰色的，我们可以说"He has gray hair." 如果一个人在年轻时头发就呈现出灰白，我们可以表达为"He was already gray at 30, referring to his hair turning white early."

灰色也可能用来形容人的脸色，特别是在恐惧或生病时显得苍白，如"He still looked pale and exhausted, his face gray." 对于天气，"It was a gray day, suggesting a dull and overcast sky."

此外，gray还可用作名词，指代颜色、灰色颜料或者灰色的衣服，如"They were dressed in gray garments." 或者指代暗淡的光线，如"a day filled with dim gray light."

作为及物动词，gray可以表示使某物变为灰色，如"Sorrow has caused his hair to turn gray, with the word 'grayed' used to describe the transformation." 不及物动词gray则表示某物自然变为灰色，如"He's graying at the temples, showing the aging process turning his hair silver-white."
