It wasn’t so much that they wanted a gray character; early printing just didn’t do color all that well and a lot of characters started out gray because of printing errors.
He was actually originally grey. That was a thing for a lot of Marvel characters in their early years; they kept wanting to do a grey character but they kept needing to change it. Happened to the Hulk, Iron Man and Beast.
