Thunder clouds are grey because they are denser and heavier than other clouds.
Clouds are just clumps of moisture beads that form in the atmosphere. Clouds that cause thunderstorms tend to contain much more moisture than other clouds - they are thicker and heavier, and thus they appear darker because light cannot get through them.
