You honestly *do* know how grey coloration would be treated, since the

Since the demise of the tiger proper, I don't know that there's been
any orange done.
In period, if a foo critter could plausibly be brown, "a foo proper"
tended to be all brown, not whatever its color in nature tended to
be.

I think this has been ruled on as "pink". Ladybugs, however, despite
the common notion, does not have a default or proper ("gules marked
sable").
