This grey colour is the natural weathering process when bare wood is exposed to ultraviolet rays. In order to freshen it up, clean the surface with an appropriate decking cleaner following the manufacturers instructions. This will restore the wood to its natural beauty. To keep the fence/deck looking good seal it and finish it with an appropriate water based wood finish.
