In the US, the ratio is reversed. Both spellings which have origins in the Old English have existed hundreds of years. Grey gained ascendancy in all varieties of English in the early 18th century, but its dominance as the preferred form was checked when American writers adopted grey about a century later. As the engram below shows, this change in American English came around 1825. Since then, both forms have remained fairly common throughout the English-speaking world, but the favouring of grey in the US and grey everywhere else has remained consistent.
