Heh, that's why I said "sometimes" :) I know there are those out there who can
tell the colors apart better than I can. And I know there are those out there
(some of the more colorblind of us) who have a very hard time with it. For
instance, supposedly women are generally more sensitive to color than men.
Anyway, long story short is that there's significant enough of a group who have
difficulty with the colors, even knowing that there's a difference. So people
who don't know about the color change are likely to have an even harder time!

I can peg new brown pretty much every time, without a comparison. Old brown I'm
usually pretty good with, but sometimes need to bring out a new brown brick for
comparison's sake. Dark grays have me second guessing myself. I'm almost always
right with my initial assessment, but I often need to bring out a comparison
brick just to be sure. And of course, light grays are the hardest. I can only
peg those with the right lighting and almost always need comparison bricks to
tell. Even then, to this day I've never been able to distinguish a new light
gray minifig hand from an old light gray one. Large, flat surfaces on the pieces
help a lot, but without them it gets pretty tricky for me.
