Shizzle, that's not a graphics card you've got in there. It's an Integrated Chipset. In other words, if you have a desktop, you just got copped out of a real graphics card. See, chipsets are basically a computer chip on your motherboard designed to handle and process images the way a real Card does. Problem is, it doesn't have the dedicated RAM or the power of a real card.
Intel doesn't make graphics cards, they make processors and Integrated Chipsets. Real cards are made mostly by ATI and nVidia, and they are an actual individual circuit board with its own fan, chipsets, etc, etc. Integrated Chipsets are actually designed for laptops, and even then, you can get a good deal if you look hard enough. My laptop, for example, has an Integrated ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200. Far better than the stock Intel Integrated.
As for that grey chief thing, if you can't get a new graphics card, then go get a patch for that game, it should be in somebody's sig. Should be called "I can see the colors" or something of the sort.
