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 did find different companies that agreed to supply them with the same color of dye, but for whatever reason the end results didn’t live up to the promises that had been made. There’s a difference between being flat-out refused and being given false promises.
