We currently see axle pins in blue. Not black or any other color (the Tan
ones are a different part, that’s why they are a different color).

On this, i completely agree. They are two extremely similar parts, and I
believe colour standardisation is needed. However, blue and tan ?
Frictionless Axle pins were grey, Axle pins with friction were black. Easily
distinguishable, neutral colours. Why did they need to change ? For the sake
of 2M (lets not debate weather it should be 2M or 2L) axles and friction
pins> ? 2M axles at one point in time were produced in white. neutral,
easily distinguishable. All that is needed is for friction axle pins to be
made in something like dark grey and the other three parts could have
remained standard. Blue ? wheres the neutrality in that.

Dark Bley looks a lot like black in the instructions, I think that was the
thinking there. And I don’t know if white 2L(*) would be any better than red,
from a standing-out point of view.
So, maybe Light Bley for friction axle pins, and Tan for frictionless would have
worked. I’m sure they were looking for cheap colors, since the parts are so
abundant.
(*) I didn’t realize that was debatable. What’s the M stand for? Maybe we should
take this argument to another venue?
