Hello Jake, Personally, I especially despise the new reddish brown, it doesn't look brown at all. The new grays look OK, but I would still prefer it if the old grays were still in production. Regards Stephane S. (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I dont like the "new" colors because they dont match the "old" ones. That is basically the whole reason I dislike them. I dont hate them but I certainly would keep the "old" ones too.
