Because the animators colored him grey. Simple as that. If there were specific reasons for that color choice they've evidently been lost to history however it's perfectly reasonable to assume they couldn't make him brown because that was King Louie's color & they couldn't make him black because that was Bagheera's color.

Baloo's color in The Jungle Book is likely a creative choice by the animators to make him visually distinct and recognizable. In the original book by Rudyard Kipling, Baloo is described as a sloth bear, which typically have dark fur ranging from black to brown. The decision to depict him as gray in the animated versions was probably made for visual appeal and animation purposes.
