Changes

Ethereal items on the ground have a dark gray name, just like socketed items. You can't tell a socketed armor, helm, weapon, or shield from an ethereal from the name tag. Obviously if the gray-text item is boots, belt, or gloves, it's going to be Ethereal, since those items can't be socketed. Bliz has considered changing the colors, such as making Ethereal slightly lighter grey, but this hasn't happened yet. Perhaps in v1.10. You can't see any indication that a magical, set, rare, or unique item in Ethereal from the name when on the ground.
