As I have not seen the new colours up close and personal, I cannot give a full assessment. However, what concerns me is this - I don't mind if LEGO introduces new colours. New colours are fine, as long as we don't expect to see down the road a (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

As a child, I was frustrated that dark grey pieces consisted of pick axes, shovels, and castle helmets. Same for green trees and baseplates. I like color. And in general I prefer cool tones to warm- so I'd say I like the new greys. Will I miss the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

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)
