Who invents these new "harmonised" colours anyway.

Committees! You know -- Lifeforms with 12 heads and no brain!
Actually, the gray for phase C is there at the UK's insistence. Most other European countries had already standardized on some combination of brown and black phases -- Two brown plus black or two black plus brown.
We insisted that any new harmonized code must provide for proper identification of
all three phases. Thus the choice was then just what the third color should be. Personally, I think we were right to insist that we would not accept a system which didn't provide proper phase identification. But I think the whole bunch were wrong to agree on gray for phase C.
(Of course, it would have better to have just left everything alone in the first place!)
