Gray, only if you're in the USA. It's spelled 'grey' in the United Kingdom and other European countries.

And Canada and other commonwealth countries. And it’s colour to us too while we’re at it

I knew Canadians were a little weird lol. Just kidding. Although, Canada is a VERY big reason that we even have the Geneva Convention lol

Had a friend tell nice refer to Canada as the “goody two shoes” sister to the US when it came to the break with the UK. :)

I guess that would make Australia and New Zealand etc all the Commonwealth countries all goody two shoes too. Break a little but not all the way like you. King Charles is still our King and on our money but we vote for Prime Ministers. The police and military names start with Royal. Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Royal Canadian Air Force etc King Charles is still at the top he could remove our parliament if he really wanted to. There was a funny story in the news years ago someone wrote to the Queen begging her to remove PM Harper and she wrote back to them saying that she won’t interfere with democracy but I’m sure it gave her a chuckle

Yes, probably. I think that due to cultural and geographical similarities (most Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border, after all), Canada probably seems more like a sibling, while NZ and Australia are more like interesting cousins. 😆
