There are quite a few colors depending on when they were made. The earliest ones were made in the late 80s and came in 10 colors. You might be able to find navy, burgundy, gray, and many shades of brown. The original city bag spectator came in a bunch of colors, and there was a later city bag spectator #9667 that came in camel, navy and burgundy, all with white trim.

I've never seen any gray Spectators, did you mean green? The only grays I've ever seen have been on fake Sheridans from Korea. The colors listed in the catalog pic are pretty much the only ones that were ever available in the Spectator line, at least until the ones with the white trim came out after 2000.

There were some styles from around 1986 in a spectator style but with Khaki Twill as the only available color, but they weren't called Spectators, maybe since Coach already had a "Spectator Bag" that wasn't actually a spectator two-tone style, just a solid color leather

When I mentioned gray, I didn't mean a spectator or two-tone color, just a regular color. She asked what colors the city bag came in, so I was mentioning all the colors I knew about, not just the spectator versions.
