I assume the grey is actually due to the contrast/brightness on your monitor.
By default, FreeBSD kernel messages are printed in white on black.

dmesg(8)

You might find it helps to change the colours of the console output.  You can
do this by setting SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR in your kernel config file.  I find
green on black the easiest to read:

options		SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)

See NOTES/LINT for more documentation about this.
