(...) replying to myself.. the new gray is not very earthy. I tried to add the 2x2 tiles to a landscape which has a lot of gray. The new gray looks very antiseptic. How appropriate for a Star Destroyer. It looks like the float on newly poured (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) With all the new coloring products coming on the market, it would be strange if Lego could not get exactly what it wanted in a color.

Relax, then rush out and get some of these new colors, and look at them side by side with your old colors. The grays are different. I like them. There is no chance I will confuse them when they are mixed with the old. Remember the excitement when (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) That's my guess about what's happening. Chamfering would make parts somewhat easier to assemble (just like in carpentry, the dowels for a dowel joint are chamfered for easier insertion) at a cost of some gripping.
