Error Chalk has no method 'grey' after update

See original GitHub issue

After chalk was updated last night with version 1.1.3, I started having troubles with fancy-log, as npm is requiring this version:

├─┬ fancy-log@1.2.0 
│ ├─┬ chalk@1.1.3 
│ │ ├── escape-string-regexp@1.0.5 
│ │ └─┬ strip-ansi@3.0.1 
│ │   └── ansi-regex@2.0.0

The error output shows the following:

/node_modules/fancy-log/index.js:9
return '['+chalk.grey(timestamp('HH:mm:ss'))+']';
                    ^

The line where the error is reported is really straightforward:

var chalk = require('chalk');
var timestamp = require('time-stamp');

function getTimestamp(){
  return '['+chalk.grey(timestamp('HH:mm:ss'))+']';
}

Strange. Ill take a look soon (I’m on the road at the moment).

As a temporary workaround you can do chalk.grey = chalk.gray. That should fix it.
