I have two main concerns with the color change. 1. The brown bothers me more than the greys. Brown needs to look like wood for so many creations and themes (Castle, Pirates, and Wild West, just to name a few). Even though I tend to be a historical (...)

I like the introduction of new colors (light yellow, sand colors, dark red), but to replace colors is something else.
