So, maybe Light Bley for friction axle pins, and Tan for frictionless would have worked. I’m sure they were looking for cheap colors, since the parts are so abundant.

I’m guessing they didn’t want to use lt grey because they don’t think kids can easily distinguish pins and axle pins. “Standard” colour of frictionless pins is lt grey.

Also, in the distant past TLC has actually produced the non friction
variety of axle pin in black (I own a few myself). Although that probably
doesn't matter to TLC :)
