The word "grey" has its origins in the Old English word "grǣg." The Old English language was a Germanic language spoken in parts of what are now England and southern Scotland between the 5th and 12th centuries. The term has cognates in other Germanic languages, such as the Middle Dutch "grē," the Old High German "grāo," and the Old Norse "grár," all of which also mean grey.

In American English, "grey" is commonly spelled "gray," which is thought to derive from the same Old English root but has been influenced by the spelling of the related French word "gris," which also means grey.

The color itself is an intermediate between black and white, representing a neutral or achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color "without color." It is typically associated with dull, cool, cloudy, and subdued tones.
