STM32F407 Datasheet section 2.2 Device overview, Figure 5 shows AHB1 in grey filled and some peripherals too filled grey, along with that.

What does the grey filling indicate. Couldn't find any legend/detail covering this.

I initially though it is the part connected to POR/VBAT circuit.. but doesn't look so.

Attached image of the page.

AHB1 is greyed out only to reduce number of lines on that picture and make it distinguishable from other buses; might've been also colored (as is in some newer STM32 DS).

OTOH, the greyed-out boxes, e.g. ADC on left bottom, DAC on bottom, RTC+BKPSRAM on the right, etc. highlight parts, which are not supplied by the internal 1.2V voltage regulator (i.e. are in a different power domain) - note that they always have also the respective supply pin/power domain name written next to them, e.g. @VDDA.
