Water in oil is a creamy brown. I have seen it a slight gray color.
More than likely it's water.
How bad is that? Well, that would depend on how much water is in the oil and how long you rode it with the oil in the engine. could be nothing, could be problems.
How did it get in there? I have no idea, I did not ride the quad. Did you ever pretend your quad was a boat? Ever see your kid around your quad with a water hose? LOL
Anyway, just do an oil flush (look it up) and go for a ride.

quickest way for water to get into your engine is threw your air box.
