Why CSS dark grey is lighter then the original grey

Question

enter image description here

Is this some kind of bug or they just made it wrong?

Shouldn't the dark gray be DARKER then the default grey?

<div class="lightgrey">Light Grey</div>
<div class="grey">Grey</div>
<div class="darkgrey">Dark Grey</div>

.lightgrey {background: lightgrey}
.grey {background: grey}
.darkgrey {background: darkgrey}

That's the answer I was looking for Mike ... guess I didn't searched enough. 1st time I vote my own question as duplicate. — rafaelcastrocouto, Apr 30 '14 at 14:38

according to W3Schools this seems to be correct.

The color "gray" is usually written with an 'a', not with an 'e', except for a string british accent :-) Though often both versions are handled alike. – arkascha Apr 30 '14 at 14:33

It appears that '*grey' and '*gray' are handled the same, regardless of spelling – Mike Koch Apr 30 '14 at 14:35
