(...) Well even if there *was* a legitimate need, it still doesn't explain how they (the Design Lab) thought replacing grey with bley would help that need. I would be very interested in hearing the logic behind that. I would also be interested in (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)

Sure, I'm not too happy about the change of greys, though I think in the long run the new greys will prove to be a better color. But I wanted to offer a little reality check here... If Mattel suddenly changed Barbie's hair or eye color, would they (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.color)

As someone who has run into situations like this in business before, I can understand the situation. It's hard to make changes that are necessary to improve the product due to the impact on existing customers. Where Lego missed the boat on this (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I think "organically" in this context means that the broadening of the color palette was not guided by a deliberate, structured plan and was instead allowed to grow to suit the needs that arose over time. Dave! (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)
