(...) Here's one of my older posts about the color change from just about 3 years ago: (URL) I was very much anti-new colors mostly due to me not liking to mix different hues of the same color in a MOC. So I was concerned at the time of potentially (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Agreed, Tim. Especially in the recent MOCs including both old and new colors. As long as Ebay doesn't sue for infringement, bley is better than 'light stone' or 'medium cool grey number 20' or some such. Aaron (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I'm very pro-bley and love the extra grey colours but I think the term itself is a useful way of differentiating new and old. Tim (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I use both old-gray and bley indiscriminately. :o) Well, ok, not quite indisciminately, but I don't tend to worry about the change too much, and I'm a person who's very much a classic fan. I think part of the reason is that bley pieces tend to (...) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I think you're right insofar as it doesn't quite match as well. And seeing the new light gray against the old really makes the new gray almost look a little pastel. So at first, yeah, I thought it looked awful as rock. But after seeing it get (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)
