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.
100% Ack. This shortsighted decision to invent "universal" colours and
assigning them to an inconsistent palette is a sure sign of headless
activism by a management that did not understand the situation at all.

All they have managed by this is to move themselves into a corner
without an easy escape.

On a side note, I get it that noone in the Design Lab ever BUILDS with Lego?  If
they did, I can't imagine that they'd think removing an "organic" dark grey would be
a good thing for anyone that likes to add vegetation and rocks to their layouts.
Oh, they don't need to play with it. They've got all the "Good Thinking"
instead ;-)

Perhaps the DL needs an infusion of Trainheads?
An infusion of reality (that thing outside the ivory towers windows)
would suffice.
