I have a 10 month old grey... A real sweet thing (only to me though) Her (not DNA sexed) names Red... Her feather colors getting a lot darker. In the last month she's got a lot of dark grey feathers particularly around the neck. A few feathers on her wings are darker now.
Is this normal? (And I'm just going nuts) or
Am I missing something in her diet?

Looks like a serious case of young Parrot molting process! It is not unusual for variations in colors in early plumage. And, They Know That It Screws With There Human's Mind. :D

Web Search Pictures of young Grey's and that should help in your seeing the kind of variations they can push.

Have Fun!

This is my first grey & was worried...
She's getting such a dark shade of grey I was getting worried...
Now I'll wait for her to change completely... [emoji4]
