| I've been trying to find a part on PAB for a few hours now (not going to
get in to why things are called one thing here and another there) and I think
I finally found it - but they have it listed as Dark Stone Grey; is that the
same?

Yes. Dark Bluish Gray (Bricklink) = Dark Stone Gray (LEGO)

Yes. Dark Bluish Gray (Bricklink) = Dark Stone Gray (LEGO)

In a twist Light Bluish Gray (BL) = Medium Stone Grey (LEGO)

| But.... Okay, I'm sure this has been asked over the years by those with
exponentially more LEGO knowledge than I... But why are these terms and part
numbers not homogenized? Why is a part XXXX here and YYYY there? Plus the whole
color thing? Why is it Track here and Rail there?

There's a reason for the colours, less so AFAIK for the parts descriptions
descrepencies.
Back in the day, LEGO didn't disclose to everyone else what they called the
colour shades. Most of the older colours are called what they were by the public
when Bricklink got the original data from Peeron. Then in the early '00s
the colour change happened and the greys got called LBG and DBG do differentiate
from 'old' light and dark grey. More recently we can see what LEGO call
everything, and dark bluish gray and dark stone grey are used variably on different
websites.
I suppose it would be possible to realign the colours to LEGOs names, but that
would cause a whole lot of confusion. Personally I'm happy with green being
green, and tan being tan rather than brick yellow.
