As a fan of classic castle I do not like the new colours of gray because they
are too blue, and do not look as realistic as the older greys. However my

shades, and the new greys. Consequently, the new greys (esp. dark-grey) look
odd with almost every other color. And when a color can actually manage to
clash with white, you know something is seriously wrong with it.
