I am 51 and have inherited a slow-to-grey process from one of my Mom's sisters. My own sister, a year younger, has more grey than I. With my medium-brown hair the few greys I have don't show much, and I do get blonde & red highlights every three months or so. I admire those women who have that lovely salt & pepper hair, especially with a great haircut. But not everyone has the option of going grey so elegantly. Grey hair can be patchy and blotchy. Years of colouring can show up as damage and can require time to recover which not everyone could handle. One's skin condition can be a major factor as well.
So my vote is go grey if it looks good on you.
