Yes they pretty much all describe the the gray and dark colors—but the characters are different. Unfortunately, to translate a poetic language such as Chinese to a relatively more descriptive language such as English is not very easy. Chinese are pictograms and ideograms—so mostly it needs to be “interpreted” and not really very “direct”. Its meaning can be rather obscure. To appreciate it best, learn it. :)
