(...) Yeah, that's what I got- 'warm white'. They aren't the same color as warm-white incandescents by any means. Those are yellowy, the CF's aren't as yellow. I haven't switched entirely- I bought a pack of them, and I'm replacing bulbs as my (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) <snip> The new bleys are horrible. They are so bad, everyone should save themselves from using them by sending their entire stock to me. :D I like both greys, honestly. They each have their purposes. I prefer the older ones for Castles, (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Actually I'm quite sure they are not but I still think bley looks better and as far as I know it doesn't fit in the range of error for my eyes. (...) I'd like to see some sort of citation or evidence for this. (URL) Isodomos> has a very (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) They're talking about making incandescents illegal here in Aus (or possibly just in QLD) fairly soon, with subsidies for switching to compact flourescents. Gladly they come in a range of colour temperatures these days, so you're not limited to (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) And Tan. And all the blues. And Dark Red. And it works fine in Technic models with Yellow, Red, White, etc. Actually, I like the new Aquaraiders sets, and they use a variety of colors with Bley, and nothing really clashes. (I've seen lots of (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Are you sure your eyes are working correctly? The vast majority of the LEGO color palette has a warm tone to it, including "primary" blue, a color which is traditionally supposed to be the far extreme of the cool palette. The bleys have a very (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I like Dark Bley. It's a different-enough color for me to see it. I never really liked the old greys, they always looked yellowed and faded to me. Brown- now, I liked old brown. I have a lot of it, and I feel protective and nostalgic about it (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
