Replacing "OldGray" Bricks in an old set

[Nite01]

Hello,

i have an old lego set with a few missing bricks (6074 - Black Falcon's Fortress).

According to this part list : http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6074-1 , some of the bricks i am missing have "OldGray" color.

On the lego "pick a brick" store, however, there is no such color. They only have "Dk. St. Gray" and "Med. St. Gray".

Is any of those two "compatible" with the "OldGray" color ?

Thanks !

I would just get the old gray from bricklink. There is a noticable difference in the old gray and grays out now.

Indeed, in plain light the difference is very visible.

Bricklink's "light gray" = peeron's "old gray" (not available from Lego since about 10 years)

Bricklink's "light bluish gray" = peeron's "md stone" (the current one sold by Lego)

The arches at the bottom are old grey where the rest of the building is light bluish grey.

Basically anything over 7 years, other than standard bricks in primary colors plus black and white, you should look elsewhere . Lego had a huge overhaul of their color palette, so very few pieces of early sets are available.

White is also quite different now, only black is the same. TLG's naming concentions are really odd ..
