There are 167 colors listed, only 9 "gray" colors:
28:dark slate gray dark slate grey, DarkSlateGray, DarkSlateGrey #2f4f4f
29:dim gray dim grey, DimGray, DimGrey #696969
30:slate gray slate grey, SlateGray, SlateGrey #708090
31:light slate gray light slate grey, LightSlateGray, LightSlateGrey #778899
32:gray grey #bebebe
33:light gray light grey, LightGray, LightGrey #d3d3d3
130:gray0 grey0 #000000
131:dark gray dark grey, DarkGray, DarkGrey #a9a9a9
154:SystemGrayText SystemGrayText #c0c0c0
and 8 "grey"
8 matches for "grey" in buffer: *Colors*
28:dark slate gray dark slate grey, DarkSlateGray, DarkSlateGrey #2f4f4f
29:dim gray dim grey, DimGray, DimGrey #696969
30:slate gray slate grey, SlateGray, SlateGrey #708090
31:light slate gray light slate grey, LightSlateGray, LightSlateGrey #778899
32:gray grey #bebebe
33:light gray light grey, LightGray, LightGrey #d3d3d3
130:gray0 grey0 #000000
131:dark gray dark grey, DarkGray, DarkGrey #a9a9a9
When I try to set
(set-background-color "DarkGray") or
(set-background-color "SystemGrayText")
I end up with the lighter bebebe grey instead.
Note that I have also turned off Windows 7 Aero color themes on my
desktop because it is impossible to configure windows colors with
a dark grey window background and white text unless you disable
Aero themes and then start from the High Contrast #1 theme to set
Windows system colors.
