  Hi,

I just wanted to discuss this a bit. As a lot of us know, the Piraka and all
the other 2006 Bionicle figures were given "Pearl Light Gray" armor.
It was the new colour at the time. But, according to Bricklink's inventory,
The Toa Nuva armor (as well the Toa Metru weapons) are "Pearl Light Grey!"

Pearl Light Grey was undoubtably the 2006 armor colour, so why is this appearing
in the earlier years? And what makes this infuriating is seeing the hundreds
of "Pearl Light Gray" Nuva pieces being sold by unsuspecting sellers,
especially if you're after a particular variant -- it makes hunting it
a pain and a gamble.

Can this change?

Are you referring to the unrecognized Cool Silver?

Doubtfully, I think they are referring to the darker 131 parts.
See the section on silver colors here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1096

Thanks for providing the link -- I didn't know Bricklink had a statement
on colours. I read it and I somewhat understand it. But it appears they'll
be fixing the issue in the future. But for the moment, it makes buying parts
a hassle, as I just experienced recently, where I ordered 6 of the same part
labeled "Pearl Light Gray", and received 5 of 1 colour and 1 of another.
Same goes for a couple of other "Pearl Light Gray" pieces I bought.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to vent and gain some kind of understanding on the issue.

Which parts? You may have just received variants of standard Pearl Light Gray
and not the unrecognized color.
