Hi,
The gray color indicates unavailable screen areas that the user cannot fill in yet.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Visual Question About Disabled Text and Contrast

What is the significance of the text grayed out? In my experience I have seen few interactive elements such as submit button grayed out until the user fills in the mandatory fields. There are other instances too but most of them are interactive elements.
