“I am pronounced as one letter, but written with three.

Three letters there are, and only two of me.

I’m double, I’m single, I’m found in blue and gray.

Read from both ends, the same either way”

Whatever can I be?

I think all he meant was that "e" is found in the word blue and the word "grey" for the riddle purpose.

It can be spelled either way, by the way:

Main Entry: gray
Variant(s): also grey /'grA/
Function: adjective
(From Merriam-Webster online)

(Is there a full moon in the Cellar?)

Just trying to figure out if you're angry or something.

Shawnee123 is correct. I understood the riddle and offered my post as evidence of that while preserving the mystery of the riddle for the other readers. I intended no offense KV, and I apologize for having done so anyway.

no worries BigV, I wasn't offended...I was just saying...out of all that you're pointing out my grammar...gosh...
i know you can't tell from text...but I rarely get offended...you have to try really hard to offend me...
So no worries ok?
And my admitting that I was a dumbass doesn't make me angry...I am a dumbass, literally, on a daily basis, and have no problem admitting to my faults
so...everyone is good now right?
