2004 Lego Harry Potter,
Now with new, improved colors!
That sounds silly.
This is more like when food companies put dye in their products to make them
look better. They dont tell the customer outright, but if you look carefully
at the ingredients, youll see the dyes listed. For these types of products,
New and improved! is good enough. Keep the customer guessing about whats
new.
For Lego, its always been new sets with new pieces and occasionally new colors.
Unfortunately, someone at Lego thought it would be a good idea to improve old
colors as well. As we all know, this is a fundamentally different change
because it effectively removes colors from the Lego spectrum. :-(

Im simply speculating about the building priorities of children versus
adults. Theres a difference between Hey, these colors are a little
different than my old ones. They look nice. I will adapt to them in my
constructions and I dont want any more Lego because they dont match my
old ones.

Definately depends on the child. Younger children may buy the set to build the
picture on the box (according to the instructions), but when they build their
own creations, they dont much care about colors.
Older children might care more about colors and may even start to buy sets
according to the pieces they contain, rather than the main model on the box.
They would be the ones that would notice the color change. They are also the
children who will likely go through a dark ages in their late teens and later
rediscover Lego as an AFOL.
Since we already know how small a segment AFOLs are, Id speculate that
children that try to match colors in their creations are a small segment also.
