"I received a parking tickett, but when I read the ticket the warden has put down my car as being grey but my car is blue. Can I appeal.."

Firstly is it a council parking ticket or a private one.

Who has given you a parking ticket ?
Where does it ask you to send the payment to ?
Please provide as much detail as you can about the ticket itself.

If its a council ticket, having the wrong colour isn't a fatal flaw, so the chances of an appeal are slim, although I have got-off on an informal challenge once when they had the colour so obviously wrong that I had to write-in to ask if they actually had the right vehicle, so it may be worth a go.

If its a private invoice however, having the colour wrong does not affect its general unenforcability one bit!

If it's a council, there are other avenues to explore as well, such as the wording on the ticket and the signs and lines at the place where the alleged contravention took place.
