Why does OBJ file come out Gray, no color?

FBX for example. When the “color” is a texture, then this texture is most probably missing. Have a look that the texture is in the same folder than the obj file, and that there is a *.mtl file available. That’s part of the *.obj file, and defines the material settings.

Are there any problems importing OBJ files into materials?

As you’ve just found out, this can include D|S having problems importing a file it’s just exported. Materials settings are especially prone to glitching; the only solution is to experiment with different export and import settings until you find a combination that works.

Is the.obj file the same as the.mtl file?

Unusual, certainly. The .mtl ought to be a separate file, with the same name as the .obj — the .obj file defines the different material names (and which bits of the model have which material applied), and the .mtl file cross-references these names with the relevant texture file paths.

How to import OBJ files into texturing cycles?

Most probably an absolute path with a C:\\ at the beginning. Like C:\\myfolder\\mytexture.png. Open it with a text editor, search for the map_kd part and change it to a relative path. Which is basically just the texture name: mytexture.png Cycles is not able to import the texture from an obj file yet.
