Exactly, the more colours the better.
Primary colours have their purpose, in chidren's toys.
The major reason I buy Belville/Paradisa is to get some different colours.
Who wants a totally primary colour town, you need different colours to work
in combination with the main colours.
Lego started with a yellow castle, but moved on to grey/gray.
Light Brown/Dark Brown and Light Grey/Dark Grey elements are becoming more
and more prevalent especially in Star Wars.
I think Teal is great and Orange, the Rock Raiders HQ is the first set I
bought after my dark ages.
A Basic/Classic brick bucket with just these 6 colours would certainly be
something.
