Not sure where you want corrections sent but... I am pretty sure that the
color dark grey (referred to as "dark warm grey", I believe, on the color
chart) predates 1989. I think its very first use was for sleepers in the
grey/dark grey 12V track.
For example http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7740 shows the use of this color. I
would by no means claim that 1980 is the first use of it, not sure what
year... I just know it's earlier than 1989... However 1980 is not a bad
guess as that IS when the grey/dark grey 12v era started

(a very good resource for train history, never found an error, but not
necessarily definitive)
Hope that helps!
