Usually you have a permanent live to the fan, a switched live from your light switch and neutral.
The idea is that after you have switched your light off the fan will kepp running on a timer so needs a permanent live.
Not sure on the colours you have mentioned though, I would guess at one of the bacls being a switch wire, the other a neutral and the grey a permanent phase, BUT I would presonally test them using a meter to find out what is what.
