Quick question.
I have not got IE 8 beta 1 myself... Does it understand "grey", spelled
with an e - as it should be ;-)
I have researched this myself now and will set all confusion to rest!
"Grey" is a valid CSS color name defined in CSS 3, not CSS 2.1.
As has been stated previously its equivalent RGB-value is strictly
defined by the W3C, and color keywords are not deprecated. For pedagogic
reasons I use them a lot, and also when wireframing.
MSIE <= 7 does only recognize "gray". MSIE 8 beta recognizes "grey" used
as a value for CSS color, border, outline and background. It also
recognizes the value set - as you should not! - with the bgcolor
attribute. It does all of this regardless of its in quirks mode, IE 7
sub-standards mode or "we are trying for the real deal" standards mode!
(So much for UA-compatible meta switches!)
At least one webmaster will be surprised: http://www.bebt.com/ Today in
IE it's a *green* box - which is an exceptionally buggy implementation!
All this I know thanks to "Philip" on the WHATWG IRC channel:

around 23:00)
