Read Explanation:

In this sentence, the superlative adjective "greyest" is incorrect because of the context of the sentence. Usage of Adjectives: Positive Degree ("grey"): Describes a quality without comparison. Comparative Degree ("greyer"): Compares two things. Superlative Degree ("greyest" or "most grey"): Compares three or more things. Context: The sentence describes the state of the sky after a storm. It is not comparing the sky after this specific storm to the sky after multiple other storms to determine which one was the absolute "greyest."
