What Causes Grey Colored Stool?

I have stool that is nearly spherical, gray in color and immediately sinks to the bottom of the toilet bowl. I was eating a piece of dark chocolate about every day but discontinued the practice with no change in color. I have been constipated to some degree for several weeks. The stool turned from the normal brown to the gray color relatively recently. Any suggestions?
