To bring up other people's questions in a way - so this basically means, until we
AFOLs screamed bloody murder, that white WAS scheduled for a change, right?

Otherwise, bleys and the current white are NOT a "consistent color palette".  The
only way bleys could be in a consistent palette was if white was shifted (along with
other colors).

Locking in "universal" bleys and white insures that you will NEVER, EVER have a
"consistent color palette".

If the Design Lab truly wants a  "consistent color palette", they need to go back on
their word in one way or another - either shift white (try it, and you'll REALLY see
some screaming, I'm sure), or shift bleys back.  They have to do one or the other at
this point, or they've failed at the very start of the palette change.


Christian already brought this *very* pertinent issue up on this thread.

Obviously (to me) the wiser solution would be changing back the colours
(although, arguably not the most profitable at short term). But if no action is
taken - changing back the colors or keep on with the "consistent color palette"
revolution - i'm afraid LEGO will never feel that comfortable with this "locked
color palette", because this will always be an unfinished task.

As for AFOLs, they will live in the razor's edge, uncertain of the meaning
(translated to years) of the 'universal' word in the "universal color"
expression.

Like we say in portuguese: "How is LEGO going to take this boot off?"

Jake, Thanks for working on getting this info, but... (...) Detail, please - exactly which way do you mean "organically" here? It can have more than one meaning, one which is {very good} for anyone building realistic displays. (...) There is a TON (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)
