But there are good reasons for expressing displeasure to TLC even if you don't think they will reverse the color change: Even if (...) (21 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | Re: So why all the whining about the color changes?
|
| (...) The official reason given for the color change was that new colors were less "muddy" and would be more appealing to kids. No mention was made of the new colors being cheaper to produce (although that hasn't been denied). But Jake McKee has (...) (21 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
