You might also want to consider using Turkey Flats in either medium dun or white for the post.

And then Lee Wulff added the calf-tail wings for visibility, float, and durability (added to many patterns). Most else is just variations, as is with the RC and the RW- variations of the coachman. A grey tippet wing is probably referring to the tip of a gray or grizzly hackle, and for that you'd just tie a set of adams tippet wings on a royal coachman body and finish with coachman brown hackles. I prefer Winger wings in the adams grizzly colors or white, for both profile on the water and durability. But if you are mimicking a clear-wing mayfly, then a fine hackle tip is the way to go, just suggesting the wing, as does the adams dry fly, rather that presenting it in full profile.
