(...) Actually, today's red is much different than '70s red. This color shocked me when I exited my dark ages and compared my '60s-'80s bricks with my '90s+. The old bricks are a deep rich color while the new ones are brighter and more transparent. (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
