Very unique paint scheme on those rigs from Hillsdale...distinctive.

Yes, like FDNYTrucks stated, it's gray. The story of the gray paint scheme-and I don't know exactly how accurate it is- is that many moons ago, the fire company ordered a new pumper and it was going to be painted green. However, when the color was noted in the paperwork, they just put down "Gr" and it wound up being painted gray instead of green.
