Further more, the studs are rounded, making connections significantly weaker, and the parts overall just have a cheaper feel to them.

The two parts labelled “old” are both from 2003 sets, and have never had a chance to yellow or been exposed to sunlight. The photo was not altered in any way and is the raw output from my scanner.

The light gray has changed a bit, but the dark grey is a whole new color, which I think Clark is right about; it’s stone gray.

The new studs are slightly looser, but seem to work well.
