I wonder how much confusion would arise from having two sets of such similar
colours on the shelves at the same time (I imagine the transitional period is

New is good, but getting rid of old is bad. (Can you say Monorail?) It’s
not that the new shades aren’t welcome, but not at the expense of the old
ones.

Indeed, but did anyone feel ‘betrayed’ by the discontinuation of Monorail? Did
anyone quit Lego because of it. I think we got over that :)

In other words, if you were to map the colors into RGB space, Dark Grey is not on a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
