I have a couple of thoughts:
1. Ask the seller specifically what color it is. If you don't know the seller,
don't assume they are familiar with the differences. The older, and more rare
the color-part combination is, the more important it is to ask.
2. The various keepers of the various community color 'databases' might want to
consider renaming the colors, so "gray" becomes "old gray" and "blay"/"medium
stone" becomes "gray". Ditto for the other changed colors.
2a. Or go with a 3-color system, like "old gray", "new gray" and "gray". If
someone lists a product as "gray", buyers will know to tread carefully.
Oh! I almost forgot!
3. Don't worry about it. It's just a little piece of plastic.
