I don't really see the issue here. In my mind they are gray. The only strange
thing I see is that the person used a flash to take the picture and the effect
made the pieces in the front look tanish. That in my mind is only because they
were in direct line with the flash. I have taken many pictures of LEGO both
with and without flash and IMHO a flash works terrible when photographing LEGO
especially close up.
IMO these are all grey and the person just used very poor photographing
techniques.
