Both the picture and an Amazon representative indicated this was a light gray.  Rep told me that "grAy" is a lighter color than "grEy". While I never heard that, I believed him and purchased the bag. (grEy is the UK version of grAy. Both are the same.)  I really like the bag, so I'm keeping it.  But it is very dark gray, not at all like the picture.  Another comment indicated that, but I thought the rep would know better.  Clearly I was mistaken.
