Hi Susan, my best guess is that the grey color might be due to oxidation of the dough, especially if you opted for the overnight refrigeration. This is totally harmless, but you could try placing greased plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dough the next time you put it in the refrigerator, and see if this helps prevent the grey crumb.
