Two Tuesday Teasers

It just so happens that today has been a little slower today at work (knock on wood) and I have had a few moments where my brain was able to come up with a few enigmas. I'm in charge of writing down the color of the new cars we get in, among other responsibilities and it hit me-
 Hey- Why are there two spellings for gray or grey or.... AH you see my problem?
Is one more politically correct?
As an American am I supposed to have a patriotic preference for one opposed to the other?

and while we are comparing things:

What makes one orange peel thicker than its neighbor's?
Does it have to do with the amount of sunlight, water, etc?
Is it simply the luck of the draw?
DOES IT EVEN MATTER? 

I really just don't even know anymore...

    Remember how gum tastes like the color grey/gray when it's old? Is this relevant?
