Yes it is gray.
Okay, you have polybutelene pipe which is a different material than pex.
You'll need a sharkbite adapter to go from the older gray pipe to pex to tbe 1/2" mpt to connect to your water heater.
Specifically a 1/2" Polybutylene to Pex adapter. Its a push and done part, costs more than the clamp band variety, but it will successfully adapter from your old pipe to the modern stuff.
