This is my favourite belt at the moment (and believe me, I own a few) it's been a permanent fixture on my jeans since I got it. Re: colour, it's described as grey. I suppose it looks grey in a certain light, but I would describe it as more of a khaki grey. The buckle is certainly grey, that's for sure, a lighter shade of grey than the buckle on the other Bench belt in this style. The best thing about this type of belt is the ease of fastening. Once you've adjusted the length to your particular size, you just clunk it together and away you go.
