| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Delete 1 Part 53571 Flat Silver Bionicle Weapon Piraka Water Harpoon (Vezok)
* Add 1 Part 53571 Pearl Light Gray Bionicle Weapon Piraka Water Harpoon (Vezok)
Comments from Submitter:
This part was only issued with one set in one color. I have this part and it is quite clearly and distinctly Pearl Light Gray (and extremely pale at that) rather than Flat Silver. There are two other parts in the set listed as Pearl Light Gray, and generally all would match in a Bionicle set. Even the combination-colored feet are Pearl Light Gray combined with Dark Blue. If it turns out that Flat Silver really did appear in production at one time, then that color probably should be made an alternate entry with Pearl Light Gray being the primary entry. Please confirm, thanks.

This is not true. The part was also included in set

This is not entirely true, either. Bionicle sets would routinely include parts
made in one of two distinct shades of LEGO color 131 Silver. One of the shades
was much lighter, and one of the shades darker. Parts made in either shade could
be included in sets since LEGO did not make a distinction between the shades
like BrickLink attempts to. The older "Flat Silver" and Pearl Light Gray colors
may be merged in the future as it is problematic to try and separate these shades
of one color when BrickLink does not separate the shades of Pearl Gold, for example.
