Sorry for replying to post addressed to someone else.
Since TLC invented "studless" Technic, I thought they were trying to make
something like MERKUR (= metal construction toys, see
http://www.merkurtoys.cz/en/index.htm - click "Sets", then "Parts").
As everybody can see, the color palette for painted Merkur parts is very simple
- and it was even simpler, AFAIK from my sets from 80s/90s.
I'm not happy to see TLG "cloning" Merkur. They are two different systems, two
different meanings of realism: With Merkur, one works with real bolts and nuts,
real steel beams etc. With LEGO Technic, the realism can be seen in design:
color matching gear assemblies, color matching support structures etc. The color
coded parts makes any model look totally unrealistic.
Just my 2 halers,
Martin
