Grey box testing is a combination of black and white box testing,where tester will test both the build and the internal code with some knowledge and understanding over it.

I have read in one website that,

Checking Warning messages--Yellow box testing

Checking Error messages--Red box testing

I am not sure why they are called yellow box and red box testing.But i think this warning messages and error messages are the part of application/system in black box environment.If some parts of error messages and warning messages are not covered in black box,i am sure they can be covered either in white box or grey box testing.

I am assuming that,if we check only for error messages than it is called as red box testing.Red resembles danger and unexpected error message is also danger to application or product.In the same way assume for yellow box testing also :-))
