Just to add my humble 2 cents here, I bought a used gamma-V (6891) from brick link recently, and when I was putting it together, I was disappointed to see at least 2 different greys which didn't quite match each other. I assumed the seller had (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
