Hiya - CP sis here...
Hmmm, that may be because that 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' rather than '...Grey' *is* the correct title of the book.
It's a surname rather than the colour you see. A simple letter which can change the whole meaning of a word.
Just like the word 'mad' can, with the addition of an 'e' becomes the more constructive 'made' really 
Stay

The book is called 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' because that's the title of the copy of my book and others that I've seen...

...and also indeed, of the 91 hits I got on a certain online book store which shares its name with a very long river in Brazil.

no, but some of things he does are very possible, just the never aging thing is not possible.

or it captivates the ever present human urge to evil, he just had the nicety of never having his wickedness show outerly.

And Sybil Vane (sp?) shows how Dorian falls in love with vanity.

It's the importance of the name, which is quite common in Wilde, an effect that I try to copy in my writings.
