(...) I think the difference there is that James was saying that it doesn't make sense that they'd be unable to find someone who would agree to supply dye for the old grey/brown colors at all. The purple fiasco was a wholy different situation. They (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Well unfortunately, those 2 paragraphs are somewhat contradictory. If LEGO is "a big enough company that if it wants a RGB mix of whatever, it would be able to source it", then why couldn't they source consistent purple dyes, even in different (...)

(...) So, do you really think that LEGO wanted a color change? Strange, since they had hoped/expected it would go unnoticed and never avertised it anywhere. Doesn't make any sense to me. Paulo Renato (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) There was a post about the purples- they were made in different countries (Hungary, Swiss and Danish, IIRC), and the dyes used are not from the same batch (or maker?) Anyway, the colours are different, because the dyes are different. The idea (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Interesting remarks. Rather than answering the reason for the 'lost colors', I would think this would go quite a bit towards explaining recent inconsistant colors. The purple bus and the goofy shades of navy blue come to mind. Perhaps the (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I took advantage of the big sale as well and recently ordered a number of gray and dark gray brick bulk packs (the 50 count 2x4 packs and the 100 count 2x2 packs)...all were of the old colors. Jonathan (20 years ago, 20-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.color)

(...) I just today received a bunch of bulk brown packs (3754, 10046, 3753, 3752, 3755 & 3756) from LEGO that I ordered as part of The Big Sale that's going on. I'm happy to report that they are the old brown color not the new. I wasn't sure so I (...) (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.color)
