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 peaceful, and this is simply a request for information
only.)
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’.
