Brickspace Dictionary: Bley

Bley (n.) (Bl 'ay')
Back in the days of Lego under Kjeild Kirk Kristiansen, all Lego sets were packed with dark-gray coloured bricks. The dark-gray colour Kristiansen was using became faded and brownish in colour after a long period of time or after exposure to harsh light sources and heat (ie. the Sun).
Then, in the early 21st century, Lego discovered this fault and ammended it by creating a new colour of blay - nickname 'Bley' by the Lego Online Community.
In the picture opposite, you can clearly see the difference between the new Bley and the old dark-gray colours.

I think your definition is wrong. Lego changed the grey & dark grey colours to have more blue in them. The grey in all sets since 2003 is now bley. There was a big stink amongst AFOLs about this especially amongst the castle builders.
