Why do kids have to actually note a color change between versions A & B for
it to be a worthwhile product enhancement? Do most kids buy multiple copies
of the same set and compare them? So what if the gray doesn’t quite match
their older pieces? Is the effect on their (often rainbow warrior) building
habits significantly altered?

I didn’t say children don’t care about color or are incapable of noticing a
color change. My response is to those who question: if the color change is
really an improvement then why Lego doesn’t hype the color change to their
target market in their advertising.
I’m simply speculating about the building priorities of children versus adults.
There’s a difference between “Hey, these colors are a little different than my
old ones. They look nice. I will adapt to them in my constructions” and “I don’t
want any more Lego because they don’t match my old ones.”
