Does the temporary color loss seem to coincide with the females being gravid (and is the color loss only with females)? Perhaps when a female's body is short on resources and she's building up eggs, the eggs are priority over the pigmentation process during her shed?
Anyway, it's a very interesting phenomenon Pictures, pictures while it lasts!

I can't speak for what Tim has read, but for me, this is the first time I've heard of it with a breeding female that may be gravid.

Re: Help: My spider turn...gray
That is amazing! Please continue to take regular pictures of her so you have the whole color change from start to finish to add to this thread. I think this is just fascinating!

Re: Help: My spider turn...gray
I have a female right now that is doing this. She shed and her whole body from about two finger widths down her spine to her belly is a steel blue gray color.
