Good point.
I'm going to say Velobase is wrong, or maybe just misleading (grey = silver ?)

They look pretty good, but they are anodized:
From https://fawkes-cycles.co.uk/mavic-re...ver-rim-p15569
  • High performance tubular road rim that builds into a light and strong wheel
  • SUP rim has a stronger arc-welded joint which is then milled to form an invisible join, eliminating juddering when braking
  • Maxtal alloy is 30 % stronger than 6061 without any extra weight
  • Anodised finish to reduce wear and corrosion
  • UB Control gives the rims a higher coefficient braking surface and a smooth joint due to the digital milling process after anodisation
  • Drilled for Presta valve tubes
  • Weight: 375 g

Maybe I should do a table for silver anodized.
