As per the pictures attached I seem to have three different light greys, but
thought there was only 2, the old Light Grey and the new Light Bluish Grey.
I'm pretty sure that the one on the right (in the picture with the white
background) is the Light Bluish Grey, that's the one I have the most of.
But which one of the others is the old Light Grey and what is the other one?
The one on the left, the more yellow one I have just a handful of pieces in
that color. The middle one I have a bit more. Can anyone help?

The middle one would be light gray, and the ones of the left would be light grays
that got yellowed through age and exposure to sun.

Agreed - although to be clear the yellowed one is on the right in the first pic.

Light bluish gray, light gray, light gray (yellowed)

It depends on the fact if you look at picture 1 or 2.

The "yellowed" light gray have the particularity of being mostly pat.pend. light
gray, which have a different composition from 80s and 90's parts. It more
easily turns yellowish gray, and even not yellowed, it will be a bit lighter
than regular light gray.

Interesting. I do have some of these yellowed light gray parts but of course
I have no memory of what they looked like when new.

Looks like middle one is light bluish grey but the others are weathered.
