I think it is currently out of stock from any seller (?)
But why is it now gone on the list of colors for this part?

Because there is no such thing as the list of colors of a part. There
are several lists on the catalog page:
(1) available colors = which colors of this part are currently available in stores;
this does not mean that the color actually exists, only that the seller listed
the part in this color.
(2) on wanted lists = which colors of this part are currently specified on wanted
lists; a lot of these colors are wishful thinking on behalf of the potential
buyers.
(3) known colors = which colors are known to exist in set/gear/etc inventories;
these colors have been confirmed to exist and can be traced to their origin.
This list is not exclusive in that parts may still exist in another color in
sets that have not been inventoried, in test runs, in special releases or escapes,
from model shops or unknown other sources.
So as to your question, I assume you are looking at list (1): the color disappears
from this selection whenever there is no-one having this part in this color available
in their shop. They may still have them in their stock rooms and you may still
list an item for sale in this color or place it on your wanted list.
A good indication of whether a part actually exists in a color, is when there
is an actual photo of the part in this color. Either in the catalog or in the
seller's listing. For renders this is mostly true as well, but they may occasionally
exist when a part has never been seen in this color. So if you see listings without
an image, always be aware that it may be wrongly listed.
[p=3626c] does have a single listing (at the time of writing) but no image in
BLY [p=3626c,103] and the wrong color image associated to that listing.

I read on Eurobricks that the BLY plain minifig head only exists as a "factory"
item.
So perhaps it was indeed "illegally" made.
Bummer. Just when I thought I could finally complete several BLY monofigs.

I bought one from a seller here, and when I was going to order one more, it went
out of stock with the seller. He states that he got it from a shipment from a
Legoland in Florida. Don't know how to verify it though???

| There are only a few pearl dark gray (pdg) monofigs out there and claim to have
pdg hands as well. I could not find on BL the original minifigs where these pdg
hands came from.
Any ideas?

| There have been several occasions when I had to place a second order just after
placing one at a store. Sometimes, the system would create a second 'batch'
order and combine it with the first one. The second invoice would usually have
a price + shipping marked as 'TBD'.
At some shops however, the system just creates a second order and charges a new
shipping fee outright.
Are the above preferences set by the store owner?
