Hi,

A cloud collects more of water droplets due to which it becomes thicker and more dense.The thicker a cloud becomes more light it scattered by it.  So, less light actually makes it through to the bottom of the cloud.The bottom of a rain cloud has little light left to scatter, so the bottom looks grey when we look up at it.
