Why Did the Hulk Turn Grey?
When Bruce was first exposed to radiation from the Gamma Reactor, Bruce became a large grey creature. However, this form quickly gave way to a more powerful green form that became known as the Hulk. Bruce Banner's body was separated from Hulk after an experiment called the Nutrient Bath.

Why was there a GREY Hulk?

In order to make sure the Incredible Hulk had a mass appeal, Lee wanted the Hulk to have grey skin, so as to not have him be identified with any one ethnicity. Unfortunately, the colorist had trouble with the ink during the first few issues, resulting in the grey coloring appearing as green.

Why did Hulk change from grey to green?

Originally, Stan Lee wanted the Hulk to be grey, but due to ink problems, the Hulk's color turned to green. This was explained by saying that the Grey Hulk was the original Hulk to appear when Banner first got hit by the Gamma Bomb.
