All this color talk has me finally posting something I have been thinking for awhile: My biggest problem with the greys and bleys is that it is hard for me to be consistent when I want to be consistent. If I need, say, eight 1x2 plates in grey or in (...) (17 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) 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 (...) (17 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 (...) (17 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 (...) (17 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

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 (...) (17 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 (...) (17 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I guess my main reason is that they are nicer to look at (particularly the new dark grey) (...) (17 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Hi all, For everyone who has switched over I'd like to hear your reasons for doing so and stories or examples of why you're happy enough with the colour change to buy bley and use it. My reasons are as follows: Access to the absolutely fabulous new (...) (17 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX) !!

(...) IMHO, it's not 'stupid.' Having just recently built a decent size MOC in only new light bley, I must admit that I am impressed with it on it's own. That is the key phrase - 'on it's own.' Since I have no more old grey to mix together and see (...) (17 years ago, 23-Apr-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
