Grey: No particular Rulership, is the realm between black and white: Sometimes used in place of silver when working with honoring the Moon. Neutralizes; stops bad luck, gossip, arguments. Slow things down so that you can gain a clearer perspective. Oddly enough, also staves off loneliness and can be used to attract friends and confidants. Great for uncrossing if you know for sure the specific person/s involved, otherwise stick to the white candle for uncrossing.
Of course common sense says, in general DO NOT LEAVE A CANDLE BURNING UNATTENDED IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. SUGGESTION PLACE CANDLE IN A BOWL OF WATER OR SNUFF OUT WHEN LEAVING YOUR HOME.
