Color is stone. Last fall, when I used it for the first time in a while, I noticed a slight water seepage around the seam between the boot foot and the Gore-Tex fabric on the right leg. The other day, I checked that spot and found that the seam tape had come loose, so I re-adhered it using a repair method I saw online. This is a DIY repair, so I cannot guarantee the results. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect product. This model is no longer manufactured, but the three-dimensional cut and the suppleness and softness of the material make it incredibly comfortable to wear. It would be suitable for fishing trips where you only fish in the evenings or don't move around much. To be honest, I didn't feel a significant benefit from the dry-spec sole structure. The brown glue marks at the junction of the fabric and the boots are not from this recent repair. I tested it in a river the other day. I didn't stand in deep water for long, but there was no leakage.
