> "Grid color" (some grayish color)

The color is COL_LIGHTGRAY (=c0c0c0), defined in
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/include/tools/color.hxx#250. This is
set as default in
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/inc/viewopti.hxx and called
SC_STD_GRIDCOLOR in core. 

The string "Grid color" belongs to the strings, which are localized. It is
named STR_GRIDCOLOR in core.

Default setting: If the color "c0c0c0" is contained in the current color
palette of Calc, then the color name from that palette is shown; if the color
is not contained, the localized version of STR_GRIDCOLOR is shown. Test it:
Start with a new user profile. Start with new Calc document and switch to
palette HTML there. Go to the options dialog tab. Now you see "Silver".

I can confirm your observation, that there is no UI way back to string "Grid
Color". That is, because the registrymodifications.xcu gets an item
"gridlinecolor" if the user has selected a different grid color. And sometimes
the grid color is entered in UserColors, even without touching the grid color.

But my suggestion is different: I would not add it to any palette. But I would
prefer an option in the dialog, to set the default color. An item "default"
above the color palette selection for example, similar to other dialogs, which
have an item "automatic" at that place. That would solve the problem, that the
user does not know which color is the default one.
