Without commentary, I'm not sure what you're trying to state here. Explanation
please.

Cheers ...

Sure,

Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.

There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.

So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)

Well, at least they're consistently inconsistent.

If the box were damaged enough that the seller were able to open the box I'd
have them find the bag and see which one it is, but that would just tip them
off probably and lead them to back out of the sale. It's a catch-22.

Best part about this is that the hair piece that seems to be the difference isn't
expensive so you can purchase the right one and boost your profits.

Yoyoyo you forgot the matching brows and goatee.

  PCC 4528776 (part 53989) is set as "Light Bluish Gray". However, LEGO's
database has it as Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray). Is this an error? Or is
there some contradictory listing in an instruction manual?

I'm seeing it come in Very Light Bluish Gray, did someone mistake it for
Light Bluish Gray, and add an incorrect color code for it, perhaps?

  (The Hue value mostly corresponds to what we call tint or colour in everyday
language.  Low Saturation would be “faded,” high “bright” or “vivid.”  And Lightness,
well, it’s about black and white, with the “full” colour in the middle.)

We never really get to see pure black and white. Interesting colors.

  But then it also may be a cultural thing / translation problem.  Colour names
are tricky and translations are never exact.

  ¹ For the “real” chestnut fruit (châtaigne), we have the colour châtain,
which is used exclusively for hair and it’s not the same colour as English chestnut.

(I was about to ask the same question as Sylvain)

  This was a fairly expensive order, so I'm wondering how long I should wait
before raising the issue further? Going off of other BL packages with tracking,
recent orders from Germany have taken about 10 days to 2 weeks to arrive - it's
been 9 days now, so would a month be fair?

Yeah that's fair. Unless other buyers mention shipping delays?

In the absence of tracking details or 'delivery attempt was made' post-cards,
you should definitely check your local mail hub once a week. A good amount (about
a fifth) of my undelivered packages are from Germany and they get sent back as
timely as possible.

I once put a bag of parts in my pocket, forgot about it, then (politely but condescendingly)
accused a seller of not shipping them. Feels bad man.
