because it needs to blend in with it's habitat.
Grey is a common color for grey wolves, but grey wolf is actually the name of the species, canis lupus, and not all members of the grey wolf species are grey. The species includes arctic wolves, which are often white, and desert wolves which are often brown.

FYI: The plural of "wolf" is "wolves."
Gray wolves are gray because they need to blend in with their habitat gray wolves can also be red, black or maybe brown :)

Actually they are grey in the same way we have blond, black, brown, or red hair; because of genes. The grey wolf comes in a variety of colors. From white to black, and grey to brown and some in between. Granted they do not come in purple, green, or blue but they do come in the rare red. So in fact they are as diverse in color as they are in personality.
