Introduced with the iMac Pro in 2017, and discontinued in May 2021, Apple's Space Gray accessories are now all sold out in the Apple Store.
Apple announced in mid-May 2021 that it would no longer produce the Space Gray accessories, but they did remain on sale "while supplies last." Now, however, they have been erased from the online Apple Store, as has the iMac Pro they were originally designed for.
All three accessories were initially solely available as build-to-order options with the 2017 iMac Pro. Apple originally claimed that they only ever be sold with this Mac, but seemingly demand changed that.
Four months after launch, in March 2018, the Space Gray Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad were put on sale separately.
The iMac Pro was then discontinued in March 2021. The removal of the Space Gray accessories from the online Apple Store was first spotted by Appleosophy.

I'm glad I grabbed a set a few months ago!
It seems the smaller keyboard (without the number pad) was never offered in space grey. I saw the news a little while back about the discontinued products and was at the point of needing another pair (keyboard and trackpad) but wanted the space grey this time rather than the silver/white of my other set that was going to be now relocated to a different office. That was when I first discovered that the basic keyboard wasn't available in space grey. I went ahead and picked up a trackpad while supplies lasted and then found the Satechi Slim X1 in space grey. Goes right in line aesthetically with the apple products and so far I've been fairly happy with its function. I'm not sure there could be a replacement for the Magic Trackpad though, it's soooo nice.
Will it be replaced with fruity pastel pink - because that's so hot right now.
I kind of wish I had bought a set while they existed. But I don't have a new machine for them to go with. I just figured the nice looking hardware would disappear soon.
