(...) Well, the thread seems to have gone a bit off track. I guess that's good- a discussion of lighting technology is appropriate- after all, without light, it doesn't matter what color anything is. But, back on topic- It's been mentioned that (...) (17 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) "My reasons are as follows: ...More attractive hues which better match other LEGO colours" Looks like a statement of (supposed) fact to me. So, you presented it as fact. You demanded evidence when I informed you that you were wrong. You don't (...) (17 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) There are other colors available on Bricklink. I'm not sure which would work best with that particular look, but it's also not my MOC. As much as it pains me to admit this, if it didn't have such a Navajo geometric vibe going on, I'd even (...) (17 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Not every marketing decision works out as well as intended. In the initial announcement, TLC said that they had done marketing groups in the interest of supposedly bringing four colors more in line with the rest of the LEGO color palette, and (...)

(...) The sad thing is, I think it's actually true. Not necessarily that it was done for the retail environment, but that the color change was done to give the pieces more visual "pop", and because the old colors (in contrast) look old and (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Yeah, the shortage of doors and windows is a whole different line of ranting. In other words, I agree with that part- the red door is out of place with all the other colors. But note that Red, Tan, Dark Red are all *warm* colors. (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) No, it is you who misunderstood me. I get that you think the choice is marketing. I'm stating that due to significant graphic manipulation on LEGO packaging, and the limited (and usually in shadow) displays, that most parents and children (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I think, and I could be wrong, the point was that your 'theory' only makes sense if the Lego is actually on display, and even if it was, the (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) And I think this argument is crap. I'd be incredibly surprised if the new bley colors in display pieces made any more than a tiny fraction of a percentage difference in parental purchasing (and probably none at all when a child decides). (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
