iMessages are blue. SMS and MMS are green. Use Messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Grey will always be one of the colors in a message conversation. -AJ

Blue indicate they were sent as an iMessage to another Apple device.
Green indicate they were sent as an SMS text message.
Grey indicates an incoming message.

To expand on the excellent information that AJ397 provided, the gray bubble is the response you receive from the person(s) that you are conversing with.
