(...) That's a bit of a generalization, I'd say. I can peg dark-grey vs. dark-bley every time, regardless of the lighting (well, as long as there is some, that is), and I'm very accurate with light-grey vs. light-bley under flourescent lighting and (...) (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) I agree that people won't know what "old" versus "new" means, but that's precisely the point I'm driving at. You *need* to know if you're a seller. So you have to go find out. If you call them "New Gray" and "Old Gray", you've successfully (...) (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) The trouble with this idea is that 'old' and 'new' grey only have meaning to those of us who have been around long enough to know the old from the new. Somebody coming into the hobby post-bley won't have any idea what distinguishes the two. I (...) (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) I'd been wondering about this myself, but I think I figured it out: "I may have to just bend over and take it." I think it has something to do with finding money on the sidewalk or something... (...) Hmm... with all the new colors out there, I (...) (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) Personally, I think BrickLink needs to change their color names. Peeron approached this problem by VERY EXPLICITLY renaming "Gray" to "OldGray", "DkGray" to "OldDkGray" and "Brown" to "OldBrown". The problem is of course as you point out, that (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

(...) Hi, Baz. I was pretty upset when they launched the color change. It was the catalyst that pushed me away from the hobby for the last year or two. I still don't like the look of the new colors, and I hate the confusion of trying to keep the new (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)

I will not adopt the new colors. There was no justifiable reason for them to be changed. All the suggestions I've heard as to why just do not make sense to me from a business standpoint. I associate the old brown and gray colors with my childhood. (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.color)
