With all the new coloring products coming on the market, it would be strange if
Lego could not get exactly what it wanted in a color. Having played with them
now, I think the new colors are great.

Having purchased said SW minis, I did not observe any change in the studs.

replying to myself.. the new gray is not very earthy. I tried to add the 2x2
tiles to a landscape which has a lot of gray. The new gray looks very
antiseptic. How appropriate for a Star Destroyer. It looks like the float on
newly poured cement. The original gray looks like cement 3 days later. The new
gray looks like ashes. The original gray looks like clay.
The two are close enough that mixing them in a wall would be very attractive.
I wonder what users of 2x2 gray tiles will do in the next year?
Thought-provoking colors. Certainly not the end of the world.
