(...) I think it caught on because it sounds like a real word. There aren't any new colors in the world, nobody gets to name new colors- except us! And we did, and whatever one may think about the color itself, the word is quite nice. Tim Smith (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Heh, you can call it that if you'd like :) I think the only reason that "bley" caught on is because it seems like it's the most commonly disliked color of the new colors (IE the one that hurt people the most to see it change). Plus, the word (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Bley is the newer grey color that has been used by the LEGO Group. It's more bluish than the previous grey, hence the name "bley." The grey color changed a few years ago without notice, and is disliked not because of the color itself (I like (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
