The Spike presented throughout this episode was indeed one painted in gray, so the costuming choices were appropriate (I keep thinking back to Restless here, where he was pretending to be a scary vampire and was filmed in fl and white).
Either he is confused and torn, wanting to be good for Buffy but unable to overcome his demonic nature and bloodlust, or he has already formulated his plan about how he is going to stake Drusilla for Buffy and he doesnt want to arouse his sires suspicions.
According to this episode, he is a brutal killer without remorse (we must never forget that), incapable of genuinely moral behaviour at least at this point in his development.
