Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

Although you are correct that the answer is "eye," your reason is incorrect. "Ewe" also is pronounced the same as a letter, also is a palindrome, also is two letters, with one repeated for a total of three. Where it fails is in the color (I know of no blue sheep), and the "I'm double" clue.
