| Hi
I just opened a sealed set 9470, released in 2012. There seem to be two shades
of gray. There is Light Bluish Gray and I cannot determine the other. It is not
the same as the Old Light Gray(not shown in picture). Bricklink catalog stated
Light Bluish Gray but the parts look more like Pearl Light Gray. Any idea? Thanks.

No, it’s not Very Light Gray, nor Very LBG, because very few parts were made
with these colours:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=49
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=99
IMHO, it’s just a light batch of LBG: not enough dye in the plastic.
TLG’s quality control doesn’t care much about colours

Being from a sealed set, this suggests that the parts are Light Bluish Gray.
Just not very colour consistent ones. Although it is strange that a number of
different parts all have the same off-colour. Maybe it has been stored in a strange
way and those parts have all bleached slightly but consistently.
