What shade of grey are the 3 middle clips?

For comparison, the ones on the left are light grey, the ones on the right are
light bluish grey and below are dark grey and dark bluish grey.

thanks in advance.

It looks like "very light gray", but that part is not listed for that colour.
I have 1x1 plates in very light gray and they look very similar. However it's
more likely they are supposed to be light blue gray, just another variant.

Nope, check the other comments

It's a version of light gray from the 80s. Looks different than normal because
it's nylon.
