So, for a little while I never knew whether to spell the color gray with an E or an A. Gray, or Grey?
Well, I didn't care.
Then I was developing a webpage and was looking at HTML color names. You know.. like blue instead of #0000FF.
Turns out the color name for gray is grAy with an A.
But the color name lightgrey is lightgrEy with an E.
Confusion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrayThere are several shades of grey available for use with HTML and CSS. Oddly, all are named somethinggray except lightgrey: this can cause unexpected errors (this discrepancy is inherited from the X11 color list).
ah, interesting.
I also find it interesting that darkgray appears to be lighter than regular gray.
