On further investigation, Anodized is a color set. Anodized strait gate is Orange with a gray gate, where Anodized bent gate is Gray with an orange gate. Aside from my very direct conversation with the backcountry staff, I have also checked other web sites such as, http://www.trails.com/gear/outdoor-gear/carabiners/ and found it to be the same story. Backcountry is creating confusion with the fact that they have no pictures of the Bright color set, found here in the Petzl Spirit Express Quickdraw http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Spirit-Express-Quickdraw/PTZ0065M.html, which is the raw aluminum color. Bright straight gate is aluminum with a blueish gray gate and bright bent gate is aluminum with an orange gate.

Orange is orange. Anodized is blueish grey. Bright is raw aluminum. I have several of all 3.

That is incorrect. Anodized is the orange one. I bought the Bright thinking it was orange and had to trade it for the Anodized.

It's just the original color of the aluminum.
