I have to agree with the main reason why this letter was created. The old color of grey was a lot less painful on the eyes, it even blended in quite well with the new colors. It certainly is a lot more difficult to tell one brick apart from another. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I disagree with most of this letter. Yes, it makes sorting harder. Yes, The Lego Group underestimated how upset some people would be (as I was!). But assuming your focus group work on colours was valid, neither of the above reasons is good enough to (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I do not support sending such a letter to the Lego senior management. They have enough to do trying to stay competitive in a very agressive market space.

Why are we still talking about this? From a corporate view, they are not going to change thousands upon thousands of dollars of material to satisfy a mere 15% (I think it was stated?) that are AFOLs.
