I'm Canadian, and I still think it's a good name. The statue that the model
is made of is known around the world, (and wasn't it in fact built in France
anyway?) It represents freedom, which we will have at least a little more of
with the new colour - as far as making our creations goes, anyway. And
hopefully this is just the first of a whole string of new colours. In fact,
wouldn't it be cool to get a large assortment of bricks in one new colour each
year? In which case, Liberty Green would represent the start of a whole new
world, which is just what the statue meant to several generations of people
that left the 'old' world, to come to America, their 'new' world. I'm all for
a new world of LEGO colours!
Finally, if you hold a brick of the new colour up to weathered copper, you
will see that it isn't an exact match anyway. (Though close enough as far as
LEGO colours go - here's hoping that they'll make a lot more colours that
aren't as 'pure'.)
