 | | What is Bley???

| Hi everyone! Humor me--I am somewhat new here, and I am not attempting to rekindle anything ugly. (I am, by nature, a peaceful person.) What is Bley? And why is it so disliked? (Please, only calm responses. Like I said--I'm somewhat new, mostly (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX) !

The grey color changed a few years ago without notice, and is disliked not because of the color itself (I like (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

LEGO later announced that all sets produced after 2003, that is, all 2004 (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

| (...) Okay--thanks, everyone! It never occurred to me that a change in color palette might be construed as a bad thing; I simply looked at the newer stuff and went, "Oh--a new color." I also thought the newer, lighter blue (which I do like) had (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

| (...) Heh, you can call it that if you'd like :) I think the only reason that "bley" caught on is because it seems like it's the most commonly disliked color of the new colors (IE the one that hurt people the most to see it change). Plus, the word (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

This is why I have far (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I think that overall light bley is more suited to more things than old grey (castle walls being the one possible exception) and dark bley is more suited to more things that old dark grey (...)
