Let's consider something as well, on top of what Mini and Spirit have said. Dust is elemental energy. 100% Element of Nature. Fire, Lightning, Wind, even Physical Force.

If the Grimm came from Dust, either directly or as a byproduct, how come they are not elemental? The closest we've gotten to a Grimm with some sort of elemental ability was Ao Kuang and his Lightning Kamehamehas, but if all Grimm came from Dust, surely they would all have some sort of elemental ability?

Not to mention, they are all Black with White bone plates, and some Red and Yellow. Red is Fire, but none have shown Fire abilities. White is Wind but the Grimm have had white plates even before Wind was made apparently White. Black? There's no Black Dust. Closest is Grey, but it's a grey light enough to tell the difference.

The closest one could get to a logical answer is Gravity Dust, which Salem apparently has by tons. But, Gravity is Purple. Even though the blasts seem Black, they still have a mild purple edge, which the Grimm lack.
