Symptoms of milk allergy are colicy pain abdomen, poor weight gain and streaks of blood in stool. I think none of the symptoms were present in your case. Green and hard stool occurs in some babies on formula feed.. So I would not have changed the formula. Now on new formula observe the stool for few more days and if its still gray then there may be some digestive problems, inform it to your doctor.
