Hi all,
For everyone who has switched over I’d like to hear your reasons for doing

I like Dark Bley. It’s a different-enough color for me to see it. I never really
liked the old greys, they always looked yellowed and faded to me.
Brown- now, I liked old brown. I have a lot of it, and I feel protective and
nostalgic about it the way some of you do about the old greys. But the color is
history- there’s no point in crying about it. I’ve moved on. Next big project I
do will use up my supply, then it’s blown from then on.
Red has changed too- many of you aren’t old enough to remember Old Red, but
believe me- it was different. It was a darker, redder, richer color, better for
bricks and less toy-like. But it’s gone the way cellulose acetate is gone. I’m
used to it- I’ve moved on, and bought a bunch of New Red.
