You could just go by \"gris\" and leave it at that, but I guess it\'s a specific color, since it\'s a technical specification...? In any case, I\'m almost sure they\'re referring to Whistler, the painter, he\'s famous for his grayscale compositions.

its not a colour

grey alone is.

whistler: makes a loud high sound

it would be something like: "con teclas de funciones grises sonoras"

here you have some pictures: notice that the ones that are not described or named with the word "whistler" are the more simple and maybe even not electronic

Peer comment(s):

neutral María Teresa Taylor Oliver : It could be, but in another question from the same asker, they're talking about "shield blue" knobs, so I'm pretty sure the subject is color names. I may be wrong, though. Greetings, Carmen :)
