Smile, looks truely home made and the 'grey' is probably some from
starches added. If it bothers you, a little Kitchen Boquet or
worstershire sauce can adjust. Here's another way to adjust should you
feel like trying again some other lazy day.

Peel an onion. Put the root snd skin (yes, the papery stuff) in the
water with the bones. It's what turns real Frnch Onion soup darker
brown and will work with any stock/broth as long as it's one you strain
before using. You can also tie them up in a good coffee filter then
remove that or cheesecloth if you have it.
