Explanation
Grey is a colour made by mixing black and white. Many things can be grey, such as hair, clothes, clouds, or stones. For example, the sky turned grey before it rained. As an adjective, it describes colour (like she wore a grey dress). As a noun, it means the colour itself (like Grey is her favourite colour). As a verb, to grey means to become grey in colour, usually with age; for example, his hair began to grey.
