What does it mean when a user's name is grey?

Hello,

This may seem like a dumb question for somebody who’s been around Discourse for so long, but it still confuses me why some user’s names are made grey.

I assume it’s supposed to help differentiate the name (assuming the user has filled it in) from the username.

Not the case, because everybody else’s name is white.

The light grey first name is indicate new users.

How old does a user have to be for it to become white?

From trust level 1 it become darker or on dark scheme lighter.
