I think if you have good contrast between the gray and your skintone, it makes a big difference. I look washed out in gray clothing also. If I looked well in gray hair I would definitely do it but since it makes me look like I've been in a crypt for a month, no way.
Same here. I wouldn't wear gray clothes on a bet, so why would I want gray hair?

My mom had fair but pink-toned skin (and it looked amazing because she avoided the sun), and she rocked salt and pepper hair. I think skin tone (pink vs. yellow) is the key factor in whether gray hair looks good.
I totally agree that you need to have an undertone that will look with gray. I've always looked great in cool colors - pinks, blues, silver, grays - so I'm just letting the gray come in as it wants. Kinda wish it'd hurry up....
