What is Bley?
And why is it so disliked? (Please, only calm responses. Like I said--I’m
somewhat new, mostly peaceful, and this is simply a request for information

Play Well!

Sometime prior to 2004, LEGO decided to
change the colors of Light Grey, Dark Grey, and Brown. Many theories persist in
why they changed the colors, but they did.
LEGO later announced that all sets produced after 2003, that is, all 2004 sets
and beyond, would be made with these new colors.
The new shades of grey had a blue tint to them, which gave rise to the term
‘bluish grey’ which was shortened to ‘Bley’. The new brown is brighter and has
a red hue, so it has been nicknamed ‘Reddish Brown’, but because of its
association with Bley is also known as ‘Blown’.
