As Mathias notes:

The gray part is a suggested completion of the command you're typing from your command history:

  • To accept the suggestion (also known as an inline prediction), use the right-arrow key; for more information, including how to customize what key to use, see this answer.

  • To change the color in which the suggestion is printed, see the next section.

Use Set-PSReadLineOption as follows, using Cyan in this example:

Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{ InlinePrediction = 'Cyan' }

To make this change for all future sessions too, include the above line in your $PROFILE file, which you can also do programmatically, e.g.:

# Make sure the (current-user, current-host) $PROFILE file exists.
if (-not (Test-Path $PROFILE)) { $null = New-Item -Force $PROFILE }

# Append the Set-PSReadLineOption call to it.
@'

Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{ InlinePrediction = 'Cyan' }
'@ | Add-Content $PROFILE
