Gray

  In the "Misc" tab, you can specify how to treat grey colors. By default, grey is not considered as a color. But all colors, when they are very desaturated, look like grey, and you can tell filter to consider grey as a very desaturated color which will be affected by rotation.

  What is Gray?: You specify there how much saturation will be considered grey. By increasing progressively saturation, you will see an enlarging circle in color circle and enlarging selected areas in Preview if Change To This option is checked.

  Hue and Saturation: You set here the color you want grey to be transformed to. You do that, either by entering values into input boxes, or by click-dragging the small central circle in Hue/Saturation circle.

  Mode: With Treat as this option, there will be no change in preview, selected "grey" areas will take the selected color and a rotation will be performed on image. With Change to this option, the selected color will be applied to "grey" areas and will appear in preview but no rotation will be performed.
