After doing a few dozen of these key replacements, I can say that the
official word (Yamaha folks monitoring this List, please jump in here if
you want) to me was to throw away the keys.  If the company is nice
enough to give the customer improved material and good enough to give us
well-paid work, the least we could do is support that company by not
recirculating grey-colored "white" keys with that company's name on it,
so to speak.  (To the literalists:  I know each key does not have the
name stamped on it, but when the question is asked 'Where did these grey
keys in the action model come from?' word will get out.  That's what I
mean.)
