“Look: new colors!” They do it all the time, especially on the 64-crayon box (I can’t remember exactly how often they do it, but the box always has some sort of graphic designed to catch your attention when they rotate new colors in). Of course, unless you’re building stuff with them like Lincoln Logs, or making drawings the size of your lawn, color compatibility between one year’s batch and the next is hardly important. By the time you get a new box of crayons, most of the previous batch should be fairly well used up and ready for outright replacement with new crayons, or donation to someone who’s stuck with one of the dinky boxes.

-Snip!- (...) I wonder what the Crayola company would have said about this. I think that the proper terms are definitely not the same as the old, but as you have said have new names. It's as though we are being "Enron-ed" by LEGO into accepting that (...) (20 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
