In a sentence

はいいろが灰色がgrayすき好きlike

I like the color gray

How it works

With "like/dislike" words, the thing you like is marked by (subject), not the object particle — so 灰色はいいろ (gray) takes (subject). 好きすき (like) is actually an adjective in Japanese, not a verb, so this reads literally as "gray is likeable (to me)". The speaker "I" is left unsaid.
