Thank you friends.
According to your advices, I think I could grasp the nuance of the two colours when modifying someone's hair.

'Grey' is the orthodox, standard and ordinary expression for natives.
'Silver' is more poetic, in other words, some kind of figurative expression, which is used with a special intention.

BTW, I've got confused which spelling is alright; grey or gray.
So I looked for a dictionary and found that both are correct.
Again, one of the BE and AE differences.
