* CharacterTitle: ''Grandpa Gray''.
* {{Feghoot}}: After being told that Grandpa Gray isn't gray we get this.
-->No, nothing about Grandpa Gray is gray, except his hair.
* FunPersonified: Grandpa Gray is stated to carry a big brown bag full of surprises and does tricks for people.
* InnocentBlueEyes: It's noted that Grandpa Gray's bright blue eyes twinkle when he laughs.
* {{Irony}}: Only Grandpa Gray's hair is gray, but the illustrations show that he's balding.
* LiteralMetaphor: The phrase '''not Gray''' is meant to mean "not boring" or show that the TitleCharacter is a very "colorful person". He does; however, literally have gray hair though.
* TheAllConcealingI: Possibly; considering the fact the protagonist's name is "'''Grandpa''' Gray" it's very likely that the narrator is his grandchild.
