Some time ago a change was implemented where nearly all Bionicle weapons that used to be categorized as 'Flat Silver' were labeled as 'Pearl Light Gray'. While I agree that previous distinction was wrong, I don't think the colors are similar enough to be grouped together (see the attached photo for an example with 'Pearl Light Gray' on the right). There are differences but we just do not have an appropriate color to describe them yet. Hence I suggest the following: For the Kanohi Masks: 'Bionicle Silver' becomes 'Mata Silver' (because this color is exclusive to Mata masks) 'Bionicle Gold' becomes 'Mata Gold' (again because this color is exclusive to Mata masks) 'Flat Silver' becomes 'Bionicle Silver' 'Pearl Light Gray' becomes either 'Pearl Light Gray' or 'Bionicle Pearl Light Gray' I think this will clear up a lot of confusion and a mismatchs in color in a single set (again, see the attached photo). Kind regards, Benjamin
