Shade or colour matching is the most essential part while placing crown on your tooth..Grayish color may be due to metal portion below the tooth colored layer of your cap which occurs in PFM ( porcelain fused to metal crown) .Zirconia based crown is the best for esthetic purposes.Visit a dentist to get the cap checked and opt for the zirconia crown which will be tooth colored throughout with precise margins and strength..

Yes, the shade can be exactly matched to other teeth. But it is subject to discolouration over a period time depending on the type of material of cap or filling.

if you are so concerned about the colour of your cap, then visit a dentist to be evaluated and may be you can get a new one done.

The colour change may be due to long time period. Opt for zirconia crown. It will help solve the problem

Ceramic caps can exactly match your teeth shade if made properly. But shade may change with passing time.
