    		Grey became the established British spelling in the 20th century and it is but a minor variant in American English, according to dictionaries. Canadians tend to prefer Grey.

    		In the US it's 'gray' in the UK and Canada etc. it's 'grey'.
    Both are correct, like many other words which have two spellings.
