In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray. The liftarm is very light bluish gray. I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present. Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?
