I feel like I'm going to see a "lostinthepond" video on this in a few months talking about how the a remains true to the original spelling in the source language. At least that's what past experiences would dictate.
I know a lot of people in America, including myself, who go back and forth on the spelling or grey/gray. Kinda using either or depending on how we feel.
Fun fact: the USA uses the older original version of English while Britain uses a more modern version. We didn’t steal it. We brought it with us and didn’t change it. 😂

Both "gray" and "grey" are correct spellings for the color neutral between black and white. It's more a matter of regional preference: "gray" is more common in American English, while "grey" is preferred in British English.

Both "gray" and "grey" are correct spellings of the same color. "Gray" is more commonly used in American English, while "grey" is more common in British English. So, either spelling is acceptable-it just depends on your preference or the style guide you're following.
