Hi Laura, I've noticed my whole wheat starter gets grey in color on the top layer if I neglect it too long in the refrigerator. I suspect this has to do with oxidation; the same way refrigerated dough can turn grey over time in the refrigerator. I wouldn't worry about the grey color, but I'm guessing more frequent feedings will eliminate the problem. Barb
