(snipped) As a trained graphic designer, and self-proclaimed student of color, I would like to point out that most art instruction books, professors, and other color experts state that pairing warm and cool colors creates stronger contrast and (...)

It's one of the first things I was taught regarding theatrical lighting design (though heavily weighted with the idea that you use a strong color for the primary lights, with a (...)

I'd be incredibly surprised if the new bley colors in display pieces made any more than a tiny fraction of a percentage difference in parental purchasing (and probably none at all when a child decides).

In the initial announcement, TLC said that they had done marketing groups in the interest of supposedly bringing four colors more in line with the rest of the LEGO color palette, and (...)

There's no way they did it outdoors, or under banks of incandescents, or LED's or anything (...) (18 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

A large number of people I've personally talked to think the bleys DO work better with Lego's color scheme; their issue with the color (...) (18 years ago, 13-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Not necessarily that it was done for the retail environment, but that the color change was done to give the pieces more visual "pop", and because the old colors (in contrast) look old and (...)

I'm stating that due to significant graphic manipulation on LEGO packaging, and the limited (and usually in shadow) displays, that most parents and children (...)
