What Causes Gray Stool In A Baby After Having Rice Cereal?

I have a 4 1/2 month old on formula. He received rice cereal spoon fed to him yesterday once, which he s had before, but this morning his stool was slate gray. This is my second child, and she s never had this. Should I be concerned about this? He has no health problems or GI problems (nor colic).
