This "greek" or "grieks" in Greek letters is an analphabetism,
anyway. I would recommend replacing it altogether with
alpha beta gamma
which would be a better indication of Greek letters, or at least with
gamma rho alpha phi alpha iota ("letters" in old Greek).
The following will produce this:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[greek]{babel}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox[gray]{0.2}{0.7}{grafa'i}
\end{document}
