Weird! So actually, it might've been grey that was the common color, and brown
rare? Freaky thought!

Yep, that's right.

Very hazardous guess ;-)
In BV, there are no two new colors for the old-chest-mold; trans. pink and
trans. clear.
There is also a new chest, which is made of two seperate pices; the base is
6x4x2.3, and is similar in shape to the big container in adventurer's, but
larger. The cover is 6x4x1.6, with rounded edges and 2x6 studs on the top.
Both are hollow, and aren't connected with hinges at all. I've seen them in a
few colors, including dk pink, light pink, and trans. clear. Probably others,
too.
