The `gray`/`grey` duplication was a property of the X11 colors that CSS took wholesale; it wasn't an intentional decision on anyone's part. (Take a look at [Alex Sexton's talk about the history of these colors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmStJQzclHc)!) The 'grey' spelling is a British (and ex-empire in generally) spelling; CSS uses American spelling, and we don't generally add British spelling aliases. (See the perennial request for a `colour` alias. ^_^) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3298#issuecomment-436809407 using your GitHub account
