I think the color change was made because TLC tries to cut production costs.
Probably they now use recycled plastic to produce the bricks. They just didn't
manage to reach the same color again within a reasonable effort.
Grey is the most vulnerable color. You can see the slightest color engraving.

I totally agree here. I almost couldn't believe what I was reading. These all
new colors in line with yellow, red, blue, black and white! Colors that always
have been there!
In my opinion, TLC think's it's now more important to present themselves as a
thrustworthy and strong company, than listen to it's customers. This would make
them feel weak and inconsequent.
Could be that finally today's computer games, children and parents don't let TLC
a chance to exist at all. But how much more important should it be to look at
the demands of different types of customers?
