I may be confused but I don't think Jake ever offered to keep track around in
old grey. I speculate that's beyond his power. What I believe he was seeking was
a list of things to get "one more run" in the old color, or at the very most, to
be available in both colors. But that latter option is, I speculate, very
expensive for the business to do.

The "universal dark grey" is the NEW dark grey if I understood Jake correctly.

Hope that helps.
