Maybe but I don't think so. Over the years there has been speculation that
the use of Maersk Blue was restricted my Maersk, has there ever been any
sort of official statement to the fact?
See this article: http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=748
From what I understand, the Model Shops can't get Maersk Blue any more
either making it another "retired" color. Since there isn't any "official"
word on this, it is based on hearsay but IMHO, the introduction of medium
blue is a change in color very similar to the changes made to the greys.
YMMV.
