Hi Jake,

without saying my personal opionion to the colour-change, I want to mention this:

In lugnet.lego, Jake McKee wrote:
   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 –

At least since LEGOWORLD in Zwolle there is the official percantage of 5% of all customers being AFOLs. Let’s say only the half of them is disappointed about the change of colours, that would are 2,5% of all customers. Even if no Non-AFOL is worried about this change, I really can’t believe that more than 2,5% of ALL customers are unhappy with the current colours. Do you really got such feedback from so many people? If a few customers made you decide to change the colours, are 2,5% of all customers able to change TLC’s mind? If not, what is the REAL background of the colour change?

I would also like to ask, how many employees of TLC were involved in making this decision. Could it be possible that only two or three, maybe only one person had this idea and are “powerful” enough to intersperse it? Has such a decision K. K. Kristiansen’s blessing?

And my last contribution: AFAIK, every “gray” is defined by nature to never having a bigger share of one colour than of other colours, no matter what chromatics(?) you use: RGB, CMYK, HSB, Lab... The new gray looks like there is too much blue in it.
