| I have 8 projectile cannons 2533c01 that I'm looking to post in my store
but I'm stuck on the color. 2 of them I think are Pearl Dark Gray bc there
are some swirls in the color. But the other 6 I'm stuck. There are only
2 official colors so they should be Dark Gray but when I hold them up to other
Dark Gray parts they almost look closer to Dark Blueish Gray. There is a picture
on Bricklink of the two different cannons next to each other but there are no
labels in the picture so I don't know which is which. Can anyone help me
out with these colors? I want to make sure I'm posting the correct thing!
Thanks!

Are you sure you don’t have old Pearl Dark Gray? BrickLink doesn’t recognize
that one and I believe there have been forum posts about this topic before. Old
Pearl Dark Gray when? 🙃

Nope. 2000 is correct. It was first used in a watch set from 2000.

Sure does here: https://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php
Some of those photos could use description updates. 218 and 220 exist outside
of one theme and part, respectively.

Pearl Dark Gray has a metallic finish, while Dark Gray and Dark Bluish Gray have
a matte finish.
Dark Gray is darker and more "yellowish/hot" than Dark Bluish Gray, obviously
more "bluish/cold".

Post a photo for us to help you?
They could all be the same color. PDG had all sorts of swirls and shades, before
Lego reformulated the color for consistency.

Yes! I have both of what is in that picture. The top is more pearly with swirls
in the color so I assumed that those were the pearl dark gray. All my other
look like the bottom cannon in the pic.
