Yup. The Grey Elves are the Sindar. They were a branch of the Teleri who remained in Beleriand and did not complete the Great Journey. The Doriathians (Thingol's folk) and the Falathrim (Cirdan's people) were their most notable groups in the First Age. All of them were theoretically under the lordship of Thingol.

The Green Elves or Laiquendi were also Teleri but they lived in Ossiriland. They were originally ruled by Denethor, but he was killed in battle against Morgoth. After this they remained hidden in the woods and their only acts were to threaten to harass the Edain as they passed through their woods and to ambush and slaughter the Dwarves of Nogrod along with Beren after the Dwarves had sacked Doriath. They obviously did not like visitors. They always wore green, hence the name.
