As it states in other comments, this appears more shaded to the tone of brown than gray.  It also is listed as faux leather, which anything I've ever purchased that is a faux leather actually resembles and feels like leather (or vinyl-like at the very least)  This does not.  It's upholstery made to look like distress faux leather.  The fabric is thin and is my impression will stain.  Mine already has a tear in it so it's not very durable although I do love the feature with the retractable lid, just wish this came in actual leather or more durable (actual) faux leather.
