Sure, this would tell me if I liked it. So, this method is highly opinion
based. I honestly don't know how much stock to put in it, but there is a real
theory of color that artists use when discussing this thing.
I beleive that most AFOLs who are complaining (myself included) are complaining
becuase it looks different not because we have any added knowledge of color
theory.
While I am not qualified to discuss color thoery, as I am neither an artist nor
versed in that field, I am qualified to discuss people's reaction to changes.
(Psychology based master's degree, if your interested.) The fact that the bley
and dark bley are noticably different than the old colors means that they will
look different in cobination with other colors. Do they really match that
pallate? Maybe they do. I submit that most AFOLs with a ton of old grey and no
color theory experience are unqualified to judge, because they are too used to
the old colors.
Now, the business impact of that statement on Lego is a different matter. It's
quite possible that they thought it matches, but never considered that AFOLs
wouldn't be able to see it, because they are too used to seeing the old colors.
Bad move, really, on Lego's part, but many of us agree that Lego was making a
bad move here.
