Looks like a grey to me

Really looks like a faded black kettle to me.  Reflection is really dull.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Grey?
Flip it over for pics without the bleaching from exposure.

I’m going with faded black. Try removing the handle and look at the color.

Give us a close-up shot of the vent.  Looks like it is a stamped logo which would put the grill at '77 or earlier.  I don't believe they made grey that early (excluding the plainsmen).

I guess a gray is desirable... but a severely faded black not so much?

By your response. Are you wanting to get rid of that faded black?
