Grey.
Green.
Burgundy. Always has been.
I am still trying to figure it out. LOL.
Just wondering, when did "gray' become "grey"?
Anyhow, my favorite color is command shirt green. No kidding.

I always get confused on the spelling. Is there an English rule for it I can follow, like I before E, except after C?
^Yeah, normally it's "gray" in the US and "grey" across the pond.
It seems "grey" has spread and pretty much taken over. I prefer "gray" so much that I disrespect "grey" by pronouncing it "gree".

If there's one thing we Brits know a lot about, it's all things grey.

Grey has always been 'grey' for me. It's just the way I learned the spelling, although I've always been aware of 'gray' as the alternate spelling, and I have noticed the 'e' spelling becoming more present in American English, whereas I used to see it primarily in British English. I recall a short story I read once in which a pair of twins' eye colors were described as one having 'gray' eyes and the other 'grey.'
As a kid, I hated the American spelling (despite being American) and once purposely missed it on a 2nd grade spelling test, because I felt so strongly about the "grey" spelling. ^_^
That being said, my favorite color is probably black or green. Hard to choose.

Yeah, "grey" is the way I use it, too. I took AP English courses, and our teacher was hard set on the British usage.
^ Well that's it then, blokes! Let's celebrate with some Bangers & Mash and ring up our mobiles, or my name isn't Sir Aluminium Boot-Bonnet.
