@HARUCS it's quite good to use the 'however' since you're telling that you do have 4 yet you're favorite is the grey one

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

I would not say it’s wrong. It is that “however” is too strong a word here perhaps, but. Also you are not changing the direction of the sentence.
For example, I have 4 cats. However my favorite animal is a dog.
Do you see how I changed the direction of the sentence.
