OK, I guess this is my chance to sum up my thoughts on new colors (having not yet read any of the previous 60 posts on this thread): I strongly oppose the change in colors and that issue alone has caused me to stop buying new Lego sets for the first (...)

(...) I really, really like the new grey colors. I think in and of themselves, they're great--the gunmetal dark grey could be extremely useful for lots of space things, and the light grey is nicely neutral. However, I really DISLIKE them as (...)

(...) I'll agree on that. It will be a choise between buying or NOT buying any new Lego set :-( Of cause I had to buy one just to see the colors for myself. This is my conclusion on the colors: 1. I like the new grey. It is actually more clear in (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

As an engineer, I am always concerned with backwards compatibility. Sure (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hello Jake, Thanks for the opportunity to get feedback from the fan base, and see what the responses are. I've read about 2 to 3 dozen responses on the color change. While I didn't think I'd reply, after reading the posts I felt to chime in. As a (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Oh man, must resist the urge to go off again. :) Seriously though....... The new grey colors are too blue and look very faded. The light much less than the dark grey, but faded and blue none the less. As for the brown, the old brown was perfect. The (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Hi Jake, nice to ask us about our feelings, but even if you tell us, TLC will not change back to the old colours, I still wish you would do. Even if that would not heal all the wounds that broke up now. What I personally think about the colour (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

My take on the issue: For the new grey, the change is rather subtle and unless put right next to eachother I don't see much problems with using the color in new models I will make together with the old grey. For the new dark grey however (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

I think the real problem is that the old greys are too yellowish, not that there's anything wrong with the new (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

I am very tempted to say a lot about this issue but as most is already said, I’ll keep it short: As an engineer of profession I will just repeat the old saying that can never be repeated too often: Don’t repair something that is not broken!

Adding new colors is a good thing, in my option, but that's not what's happened here. AFOL's argue about new colors, but the worst case scenario is that hated new colors can be ignored (placed in a storage bin and never used), or they can be sold to (...)
