Yes, the hue change from light grey to light bley was a lot smaller.
But I understand why they couldn't leave it alone if they were set
on changing the dark grey. Light grey and dark bley do not match.

OK, my use of the word "nothing" was quite sloppy. I meant to
say "the new bluish greys match almost nothing except themselves
and some greyish 'sand' colours, the rather uncommon dark blue
and purple, plus the comparably pure neutral black which can't
really make a mismatch with anything", so I can agree with
everything you said. (Or rather, take your word for it -
I don't even have half of the colours you listed. :)
My point, which might have got lost in words, was this:
For single colours, opinions differ on what looks good or not,
and fashion and culture changes our view on what colours are
"nice", but for colour *combinations*, most people can agree pretty
well on what goes well together. From the look of the new colours
and the reaction from most people who have cared to comment on it,
I am not sure that TLC took that into consideration.
Or, children might have a different color perception. I don't
know enough colour psychology to comment on that, but it might be
the case. I know they have a very different perception of what
tastes good and what kind of music sounds good. :)
