Has anyone thought that this might be an entirely new color of grey? Blue-grey or metal-grey? Also that "new light grey" seems like the mosiac color of very-light-grey. (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Hi Jake, I'm not trying to shoot the messanger, but I want to make sure the LEGO company hears what I have to say. This is an expansion on what I sent you earlier.
