Gråskraveret/skraveret

Explanation:
In this context I would probably write:

I det gråskraverede felt / i det skraverede, grå felt.

Grading comment

I guess gråtonet and gråskraveret can both be used, then. I needed confirmation, however, that fremstå i gråt is at least somewhat inappropriate. I was reviewing a previous translation.

Utydeligt

Explanation:
In localization we often use the term "utydeligt" for "grayed out".

Eamples: The grayed out area...
...Det utydelige område

The grayed out field
Det utydelige felt

I seems like we are all wrong here. I dived into the problem. \"Utydeligt\" is what we use on the Macintosh platform - my mistake.
However - according to Microsofts official glossaries, the translation for \"grayed\" is \"nedtonet\" (which btw. makes sense). So there you have it :-)
