The newer ‘Stone’ colors tend to have a more obvious blue component, while the older classic shades of gray tend more towards a yellow shift. For the browns, the original shade is the darker of the two. The new shade of brown has more red.

I keep a sample board of all the colors that I have obtained (1x2s preferred, but when I don’t have them I use something to simulate one). Here is a picture of the board. The tags for 44 and 47 I think are incorrect (should be MdOrange and MdLime).

When trying to differentiate between Gray and MdStone, I compare them under a bright desk lamp. Under that lighting, the yellow vs blue is usually visible.
