Lego has represented the new grays as an “improvement”. I don’t agree - they
are merely different. For some applications of gray, they will work better, for
others, they will be worse. Natural stone is a warm tone, and the yellowish

gray incompatible with virtually every castle product. It was, simply put, an
ill-considered move. Adding new colors is fine - changing basic ones is
basically abandoning the established user base. I can’t say that I’ll simply
boycott new sets - but I *will* have to divert more money to old pieces to keep
basic compatiblity.
