(...) We both know that the grays do not fare well with time-- they yellow, and many times older grays look crappy anyway. In the same vein, I would never build with white from the 70's. (...) We must consider the possibility that the apparent (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

Three things: 1. I don't think anyone objects to additional colors, they object to color replacement with a different colors. 2. You might well be in a minority in not minding a mottled look to your MOCs, I think many others would be more than (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
