The best way is to overcome this problem is to use hex code for the colors.

As pinusnegra commented, try "gray"

If you're in a situation like this in the future, you could double-check the Web Colors table. It seems grey isn't in the HTML 4.01 specification, but gray is.

Better yet, use hex color! #BBB, #CCC, #DDD, etc. When you use a shortcut like "gray", you are at the mercy of what the browser thinks "gray" should look like.
