Why is the plaster on a gunite pool gray in the middle and white on the gunite side and white on the outside?
The finish plaster is normally white all the way through. It sounds like you are dealing with a pool that has been replastered by the method of putting a "brown coat"/"scratch coat" (the gray plaster you noted) over the original finish plaster surface, and a new finish coat of white plaster on top of that. The scratch coat more like a thin concrete than plaster (doesn't have the white marble dust in it) and is used to get a better bond to the old surface.

Mix the dry ingredients first and then make a shallow depression and gradually add water till you have the consistency similar to chunky peanut butter.
