Actually, LEGO Blue is rather greenish, LEGO Green is rather blueish,
and LEGO Yellow is rather reddish. LEGO Blue and LEGO Green are also
slightly desaturated (grayish). This is by design -- as these colors
(especially yellow) look better this way in toys than "pure" versions.

I believe so too. Once they see the error of their ways, four or five
years down the road.
Of course, what we call classic "dark gray" is actually a rather warm gray
(which looks perfectly fine with all the LEGO colors). The Scala light
gray is also a warm gray. The medium classic gray (what we've always just
called "gray") is the only really neutral gray that LEGO has ever had, to
the best of my knowledge.
