@SebKun, I agree. Bambu Lab should make at least one filament in a colour similar to the light grey of the A1/A1 Mini housing. If they did, it might be the first roll that every new owner buys, to customize their new printer. In fact, Bambu Lab has this link on each product selection page:

I’ve suggested that they create colour HEX #C4C3C5 and call it “A1 Housing Light Grey”. Maybe if many of us make the same suggestion, they will.
How did I get that hex colour code?
In this post, @ohuf says the light grey colour of the A1/A1 Mini housing is hex code #C4C3C5.
I’ve done a little digging to create this colour comparison table of filaments against the A1/A1 Mini housing.
| Filament | Hex Colour Code | Similarity to A1/A1 Mini Light Grey Housing Colour (smaller = closer) |
|---|---|---|
| SnoLabs Cool Grey PLA (discontinued) | #BDC0C1 | 2.52 |
| Recycling Fabrik Smart Mouse (Light Gray) | #C4C8C8 | 3.20 |
| Printed Solid Jessie Premium PLA Design White | #D0CDC9 | 4.03 |
| Bambu Lab PLA Basic Light Grey 10104 | #D1D3D5 | 4.08 |
| Devil Design PLA Light Gray | RAL 7035 per their product card, which is #D7D7D7 | 4.95 |
| 3DJake Light Grey EcoPLA | RAL 7035, which is #D7D7D7 | 4.95 |
| Amazon Basics Light Grey PLA | #C4C7C1 | 5.31 |
| Polymaker Matte PLA 007 - Muted White | #BFBCB1 | 6.90 |
| Hatchbox Gray Matte PLA | Pantone 422 C, which is #9EA2A2 per this conversion tool | 9.97 |
| PrimaCreator PrimaValue PLA+ Light Grey | Waiting for response from mfgr | |
| Codes were obtained from mfgr or from filamentcolors.xyz. Conversion from RAL was done with this conversion tool. | Comparison (Delta E) from #C4C3C5 done using this tool. A smaller number is a smaller difference. Per the tool, a Delta E of less than 1 is not perceptible to the human eye. | |
Next, I plan to add a chart for the dark grey part colour of the A1/A1 Mini. For now, this discussion has a promising solution.
