   As you can tell from the photo that Joe Meno posted (http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=43553) some of the old colors (like light and dark gray) are fairly “muddy” and dull. In addition to consumer feedback pointing this out – and not positively – we didn’t like the “muddiness” either, and looked for a solution to make all the LEGO colors “fit”. These new colors are brighter and sharper and more consistent with the primary palette for which the LEGO Brand is known.

Ummmmm... It’s gray. It’s supposed to be dull. Trying to make gray “brighter and sharper” is like trying to make orange not quite as vivid--it defeats the purpose of the color itself.

   From what I understand, all new products, starting with the 2004 sets will be coming off the line utilizing the new colors. It should be noted that we are looking into the feasibility of producing bulk packs of the “old” color elements to be made available through LEGO Shop At Home – no guarantees, mind you, but we’re looking into it.

I imagine that S@H bulk orders in regular shades of gray would skyrocket if that’s the only place that people could get it. Skyrocketing sales of a bulk pack mean higher feasibility, right? ...right? (please, please, please, please, please, please, please)

(...) Colours have a purpose? Cool. So why is blue? Cheers Richie Dulin (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
