I agree completely. Let's not have too many shades of green. But I wish we
could obtain brick parts packs of at least the more common new colors (brown,
tan, dark grey, green, orange) and maybe even light blue, teal, pink and
magenta. I use these new colors as accent pieces on my buildings, and with some
of these colors, I can build Art Deco buildings with vibrant colored accents.
The pastel colors of the Miami Beach Art Deco district (Tropical Deco) can now
be recreated, especially with tiles in some of these colors. Tile pieces make
for great Deco buildings.
