The item ID for Gray Carpet is minecraft:gray_carpet. In commands the namespace may be left off, so gray_carpet works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p gray_carpet
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p gray_carpet 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve gray_carpet 1

Cheats have to be on for Gray Carpet to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
