3. Replacement greys would mean that your investment in old greys has been
cut off in terms of future elements; it would also mean a period of
reinvesting in new greys in order to build in new greys.

We both know that the grays do not fare well with time-- they yellow, and many
times older grays look crappy anyway. In the same vein, I would never build
with white from the 70’s.

Further, I really object to the “Half full” comment -- the greys are
fundamental colors to many builders. Losing access to the greys for further
building does not leave a glass “half full” -- it leaves it entirely empty!
|
We must consider the possibility that the apparent changes may be by necessity--
perhaps a change in ABS suppliers? Perhaps they have been matched to the best
of TLC’s ability?
| |
Let’s just hope that these new greys are additions to the color line and not
replacement colors as suggested by some.
|
The “new” grays are so close to the originals that I doubt they were intended as
separate, new colors in and of themselves. Time will tell (if TLC doesn’t)
