I wonder why the gray carbon specific glass stones are gray. Is it possibly so simple as this: if they put SiC in the stones now they classify them as corbon stones? Do the gray glass stones contain SiC?

Because the system works. It is not uncommon.
King makes a 300 800 1000 & 1200. That'll have you scratching your head now eh ?

I wouldn't assume the grey stones have SiC in them. They are a gentler cutter than the white stones.
