And to give illustration to the phrase, should that be the British “grey” or
the American “gray”? :-)

It’s ‘grey’; learn to spell, colonial scum! :P

Are you saying I got the color wrong? :-)

Very well said. I’m not too fussed by the change, but it would be good to
have a comprehensive answer to the reasoning behind it. They don’t owe us
that, though.
From what little Jake says (and probably can say), it seems to me that
consumer feedback was a relatively small part of the decision process. It
says that Lego themselves didn’t like the colour, and were trying to unify a
somewhat disorganised palette. Perhaps its an improvement from a design,
rather than end user perspective. Mysterious are the ways of Lego...

I’m somewhat amused at the apocolyptic visions some have placed on the color
changes. I rather imagine it is reasonably close to what you outline above.
Sometimes you have to do things for your artistic vision, and the opinions of
the Great Unwashed be damned. Of course, the vision of artists is not always
practical. :-)
