If that's true, it would still mean that the three sand-colors I cited are mixes
of grey and a color from the cool end of the spectrum, much like the bleys. I
actually held dark-bley up against all three of those colors just to confirm
that they don't actually look all that bad together. And yet that still doesn't
comfort me much in light of the fact that dark-bley looks horrible with white
and blue.

I really only bothered to compare dark-bley because it even looks odd by itself.
However, true light-grey is reportedly the second most common color in LEGO
history, even though it's not one of the original five colors. Even if that's
the only color that doesn't go with light-bley (it doesn't look very good with
true dark-grey either), that's still pretty significant.
