Dr.Adam Shaik · Answer

Hello Jeeva,
The colour describes the presence and absence of myelinated sheet on neuron .
Myelinated neurons appears white in colour and
non myelinated appears grey.

In brain the grey matter contains most of neuronal cell bodies (Cyton) only.
White matter is a component of the central nervous system.
The brain consists mostly glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of cerebrum to another and between the cerebrum and lower brain centers fastly.
