The main reasons i do not like this color change: 1. They don't match the old ones. 2. When mixed, the old ones look like degradaded with time. The old light grey seem too much yellowed and i hate yellowed parts. (see this post: (URL) Storing will (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Thanks for asking. The new colors would be great if thats what we had all along in place of the old colors, but we don't so I would have to say that I would rather buy a bucket of old colors rather than the new ones. On the other hand, if I didn't (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

I actually LIKE the new colors. But I DON’T WANT them because they’re changing a constant (or so we thought!) in the LEGO universe: light gray (and dark gray). The new colors are not backward-compatible and don’t match older LEGO-products. There you (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Let me put it this way : after seeing the new and old grays together in a project, it is my opinion that the persons who approved the color change should be fired by TLG. I would say I hate the change, but you asked to be calm and non-hateful. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

So far I have bought sets with new dark and light gray and new brown, so I've seen the 3 major color changes. I don't like the new light gray or new brown. The new dark gray is OK, but only for certain pieces. As for the whole color replacement in (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Thank you TLG for such a change in color and how you did it.

Lego has represented the new grays as an "improvement". I don't agree - they are merely different. For some applications of gray, they will work better, for others, they will be worse. Natural stone is a warm tone, and the yellowish gray old bricks (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

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)
