(...) The first ones I noticed were in Knight's Kingdom sets (8875), with a mix of greys. All of the 1x8 bricks were in old grey, while the remainder of the pieces was new grey. Since then I've noted the discrepancy in a few sets, although I don't (...) (18 years ago, 4-Aug-06, to lugnet.color)

(...) You remember how the Bonus Box sets all had way more left side wings, or right-side wedges or whatever? I think it's like that, the bases and the lids are probably produced separately. (18 years ago, 4-Aug-06, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Hi, I sorted a: [LEGOSet 7019] ...and oddly, the treasure chest had an old brown base, and a new brown lid. Weird. First time I've noticed a mix of old and new in a set, but also odd in that it would seem that treasure chests and treasure chest lids (...)

I have been objective to the standard part colour combinations from TLG for a few years now. This post is not a bashing of new greys or browns. Axles have always been black, so to friction pins. Many parts have always been produced in few colours. (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, FTX) !!

(...) That's correct. The "next version" of L3P will support it, as far as I know, but it's impossible to say when that will be out. LDView does support it, and LDGLite might. However, the current L3P does support 12-bit dithered colors 24-bit color (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)
