The color is gray. I've used it for one season, and I don't think there are any stains or dirt, but as you can see in images 4 and 5, there's a part where the stitching is loose, though it's unclear if it was like that from the beginning. Also, as shown in image 6, there are some pills on the fleece lining. Please check the images carefully and purchase with the understanding that this is a used item for children.
