I have been having a bit of trouble with the Bricklink
convention, that is the use of "bluish grey" (less with
"reddish brown" however). It seems to me like a better
solution would be to call them *cold* greys--which they
really do seem to me to be, as a former and occasional
graphic designer. Yes, the blue is there, but the big
difference is really in warmth apparent.
So yeah, I'm all for just "cold grey." It's accurate, it's
succinct, and if you're into character assassination of the
new bricks, it's COLD, man, just cold.
Everybody's happy! (or at least less unhappy.)
