I have just added lots of 'Pearl Light Grey' parts that are only in sets
as 'PLG' (eg.44031) they look more silver to me than part 57556 which
is lighter and looks more 'pearly' also only in 11 sets as 'PLG'
so which is 'PLG' and which is 'Flat Silver' as both parts are
only available as 'PLG'

Thanks, I will carry on adding as 'PLG' just such a big difference in
colour

‘All’ was referring to the 44031s, not the middle parts. I should have been more
clear about that! The darker 64299 is more than likely Flat Silver.

OMG, they're gonna add a third color to these? I can't even ID the 2
shades now. Can't we combine them into one...Bionicle Si;ver? The colors
are hard to ID, the prices are dirt cheap and no one buys them. Making listing
them even more difficult is not what I was hoping for.

This third color is much easier to identify and is not even close to modern Silver.
However, it is closer to early Silver and was really only used in Bionicle, Knights
Kingdom II, and some DUPLO sets. Good luck with that.

Inventories for these two colors should be correct. 64299 comes in both silver
colors. I would just add a note about color variation when listing the 44031s.

These ones have always been kind of tricky.
