Default KYB Shock question. Correct color?

This is not a "which shock is better" or "KYB vs. Bilstien" thread.

I ordered a set of KYB Gas-o-just shocks for my 96 recently. My questions is which color should they be? In most magazines and catalogs they are white in color, the ones that I recieved are grey. Are these shocks color-coded or what? Is there any difference between the white or grey shocks? Thanks

The part numbers are:

KG5570 x2

KG5571 x2

I have never seen that color before but it is on their www site (http://www.kyb.com/products/shocks/gasajust.php). I also see where they are transitioning their GR-2 line from grey to black, maybe they are transitioning the white to grey for the gas-a-just?

Yeah, most vendors on Amazon state that KYB has or is in the process of changing their colors on their shocks. Just wanted a second opinion.Well I will install them and see how what kind of ride they offer.
Thanks for your reply!
