<shudder> That would be even worse than changing the greys!

I thought the yellowing of the white bricks was due to age and reaction
to UV or something like that.

Even brand new white parts have a slightly creamy tinge, when compared to
bright white. To me, that's part of their attraction. I love LEGO white!

I think the new light grey looks fine with white in the 4494 mini
Imperial Shuttle.  I don't yet have an opinion on how the
new bluish dark grey looks with white.

I hope they decide to keep both the old neutral dark grey
and the new bluish dark grey so they can choose the best grey for
each situation.

I also love LEGO white.  The first time I saw the Megabloks blue-shifted
white I squinted.  It is hard on my eyes.  I sincerely hope TLC doesn't
change the white to be more bluish.
