I found that the four 3005 light gray blocks in set 10698-1 that I got are unusually
light when compared to other blocks of supposedly the same color. The manual
lists these as the same as the other bricks in the set, but this is not the case.
In the photo I have attached, the window piece also came with the set. I have
attached other bricks for comparison as well.

I am not sure if this is intentional or a color error at the manufacturing plant,
but these bricks are lighter than the standard light blue gray.

This brick sells for $5 a piece for some reason in the color very light blue
gray. The current set inventory on here does not reflect the lighter color.

[...] It's just a slight color variation within light gray. Very light bluish gray is almost white; from the picture those do not look to be that color at all.

To my eye it's COOL SILVER (id 296), but better, left out that _pearl effect_ with which it was made years ago. At that time, a Cool Silver part was right in the [...]
