PowerBook G4, Two Colors?

The carbon fiber edges on the Titanium that I saw and played with at our local Micro Center and reported on last Monday clearly were a dirty cream color, almost like very heavily milked coffee. I read several other reviews that remarked negatively, as did I, on the same color. However, a number of those receiving their PowerBook G4s late last week commented that the carbon fiber edges are a very light grey. In his review, Brian Caslis writes "The lighter color is a very light grey, almost white." His photos bear out his description and the color of the edges looks nothing like those of the Titanium on display at the Fairfax (VA) Micro Center last Sunday. The very light grey looks great! But two colors? Anybody with a new PowerBook G4 care to comment on this mystery?
