Are grey and gray different colors?

Gray is darker than grey.

It's a shame that Randall Munroe collated the two spellings together in the results of his survey. (And he even kept “periwinkle” and “perrywinkle” separate.)

I think of 'grey' as bluish and 'gray' as neutral.

My synaesthesia thinks "grey" is more bluish and "gray" more reddish, but I said "no" to the poll before considering this. Now pondering how much my first answer was wrong...

Would it be a good thing for people to be able to change their poll answers?

It would be good because we like changing our minds here, but in my opinion not enough of a good thing to be worth the effort.

Odd - I think of "grey" as brownish and "gray" as neutral.

In a previous discussion, there was someone who thought of "grey" as yellowish, but the majority went for bluish.
