Olof, I wouldn't expect there to be too much problem in this regard. It
would be different if they were trying to re-create an old colour that hadn't
been used in many years, and there had since been changes in ABS formulation,
suppliers, part moulding processes, etc. But this new batch is so recent
compared to the previous one, that little would have changed. TLC's quality
control on colour variation is pretty darn good, and probably even more
stringent than Maersk would have requested for a match to their corporate
colour. I suspect that the new batch will be pretty much identical to previous
ones.
