Gray vs. Grey

Both versions are acceptable. The difference is "gray" is more common in the U.S. while "grey" is the British version (and all other English-speaking former countries of the British Empire). Since British English is the version taught in German schools, it makes sense Porsche would use the British version.

And, BTW, if you use the British version, you should indicate that the colour is grey, while in the U.S. the color is gray.

English

Thank you dbear for that explanation. Interesting how English has evolved from country to country.

Your seal grey looks good.

I just installed a blue top on my arctic silver. Would have preferred red on silver but was offered a deal on the blue top. I was questioning the color combo but after install i like it. The blue top gives some originality vintage classy points & the glass adds a touch of refinement.
