A lot of people would like to say things about grey-->bley change that would be unprintable in a public forum like lugnet.

Two words: Blay = Blyecch I'm sure that I'll eventually buy some of the 2004 sets -- just because I'm a die-hard Space and Star Wars collector -- but it'll be with a certain lack of enthusiasm, and I'll try to swap out as many of the blay parts as I (...)

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!).
