Have children.

Liquid shoe polish (white/brown).

or WhiteOut and any brown-staining substance you find to hand.
I recommend chocolate, but go with what pleases you.

Costume shop Gray Hairspray

Almost any big box dept store (K-mart, Wal-mart and all the other marts) will have Halloween makeup available that should do the trick. Cheap and non-toxic too.

[OWC Jamie]

any place that has halloween / theatre/ clown make-up cosmetics.


You could always take up huffing paint, too.

I put a bit of that spray-on color (that all the drug stores sell for Halloween) on a toothbrush and brush it through my beard.

Avoid grease paint. Use a cream-based makeup, apply it with a makeup-sponge and put a light coat of fixing powder on it with a powder-brush or soft applicator. Some people claim to get better results by firmly pressing fixing powder in on top of the applied makeup.

Back in the day (I'm talking high school musical) we used baby powder for any and all grey hair effects. Wasn't convincing, but it was cheap, non-toxic, biodegradable and it smelled nice.
