He was supposed to be Grey. But because they had issues with colours during the print runs he became green. Later on there were some issues where he was grey, and grey hulk ussually portrays more inteligence while green hulk is just really angry. But yeah... in most issues, he's really green.

@Kwek00 In the original comic appearance he was gray (I remember buying it when it first came out), the color was changed for his second appearance. I think he was supposed to be green from the start, but there was a mix-up with the colorist. Or Stan Lee just changed his mind?

Except for his first appearance. He was gray in that, green ever afterward.
