In these days of endless reprint editions and also re-tellings (not to be confused with reboots), now it becomes an issue of whether the Hulk was green or grey in his first transformation. Or, at least, leave it to Peter David to MAKE it an issue! If someone wants to do the origin story in a modern issue, I can easily see an argument developing between the writer and the editor over how he should be colored!
Even if you accept a production issue (his greyness in the first issue) as a canonical truth, another, simpler, explanation would have done the job just as well--it was NIGHTTIME and everything can look grey at night!
When Marvel made the decision to make the HULK in the Ultimate Universe grey, that marked for me the entire "Ultimate" Universe as merely an "Alternate" universe! (As has really become apparent the last couple of years!) As anybody with common sense could tell you--an "Ultimate" presentation of the Hulk would make him green! (The Hulk OWNS green more than Kermit!)
Thank goodness the TV and movie versions have always bypassed Issue #1's "two grey evenings."
