I know some people are still thinking this is bad news, but I disagree. Thanks
for providing this list to us, Jake. Of all the news you have given, I think
this may be the most healing. Now we can look forward to some degree of
stability somewhere.
I am really most glad about white. I was worried that it was headed for a
change, as some have noted that the old greys were combinations of the current
white and black colors. Honestly, after owning some new light grey, I think I
am on the way to accepting it. It really seems to be a trivial shade change in
my eyes. The dark grey--well thats another matter. :)
I imagine that the "sand" colors will not make the list. Not that it is
terribly important. Actually, if this new grey schema is really here to stay,
then I would expect Lego to adjust the "sand" colors to match. They really so
stand out oddly with the new greys, probably because they are color variants
that involve the old greys.
Anyway, I am glad you got back to us so quickly on this issue. Despite what
others think of your honesty, I feel that I can trust you. I also feel that I
can trust TLG, when they are intent on making a statement. Neither you nor the
company are really known for lies or deception. Lego has frequently been
secretive, but that isn't the same as deceptive, and fairly often, I bet it was
a smart move--just not this time.

| (...) You think so? In my own comparisons, I've found that there are only five opaque colors that really go well with dark-bley (not counting light-bley and light-light-bley, of course), which are black, dark-blue, sand-blue, sand-green, and (...)
