grey beard

I've tried taking a photo, but its not very good. The subject part is in the middle between White and Tan pieces. Don't know where I got it. Could well be over 15 years old.

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure I can manage a photo which accurately captures the shade. As I said in my OP, I'm sure it's not sun burned white. I think it may be an old version of tan (like they changed dark red). But that doen't work unless TLG actually made such a piece. What I was hoping was that someone would know of a special run, or an old version of the "creative box" collections which had such a part in. I know not all of those are listed on Bricklink (I recently got a quantity of Medium Green a seller had got from such a box).

Hi everyone This is my first post, so please be gentle, I hope I'm posting in the right place. I have a part I'd like help with. It is a 1x6 Technic brick (with holes) in a shade of Tan. But it stands out as significant paler than my other Tan pieces. There is no Pale Tan in Bricklink. But on top of that, there is no 1x6 Technic brick in Tan, or indeed anything similar. I'm sure it isn't just a yellowed White, as the colour is consistent as far as visible into the recesses underneath. (I also have exemplars of older colours like Pale Yellow - it isn't any of those, and they weren't used for this brick anyway.) Each of the recessed studs is marked "Lego", so it isn't from a copy company. Is it a deliberate fraud, or is it something missing from Bricklink? Any comments would be welcome.
