I've just bought my first sets with the new colours in and the new brown colour is the same as a popular brand of chocolate (candy) here in the UK.

(...) No problem, no harm done, thanks for the apology. (...) Looks like the dark gray has now been changed to 'not available'. I was hoping they'd be in the new colors to support the new colors being in the 2004 sets. Best, Jonathan (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)
