| | | (...) Interesting remarks. Rather than answering the reason for the 'lost colors', I would think this would go quite a bit towards explaining recent inconsistant colors. The purple bus and the goofy shades of navy blue come to mind. Perhaps the (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

| | | | (...) There was a post about the purples- they were made in different countries (Hungary, Swiss and Danish, IIRC), and the dyes used are not from the same batch (or maker?) Anyway, the colours are different, because the dyes are different. The idea (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

| | | | | (...) So, do you really think that LEGO wanted a color change? Strange, since they had hoped/expected it would go unnoticed and never avertised it anywhere. Doesn't make any sense to me. Paulo Renato (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I think the difference there is that James was saying that it doesn't make sense that they'd be unable to find someone who would agree to supply dye for the old grey/brown colors at all. The purple fiasco was a wholy different situation. They (...) (20 years ago, 22-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Multi-million dollar companies do not make significant changes on a whim and always consider (or should consider) the bottom line. As with most things (...)

If it was so, why did LEGO stop that "linearity" now? (...) (20 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
