Is "Maersk Blue" (as it applies to LEGO bricks) the exact same color as the
light blue that came out a couple years ago in Star Wars sets and before
that in Scala and Belville? Or is it a different color?
I *think* I heard at BrickFest that Maersk Blue was made just for the Maersk
promo sets
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=1552,1831,1651_2,1650
and that (somehow) the LEGO/Maersk licensing agreement prohobited LEGO from
reusing the color in non-Maersk-branded sets. But according to Arne Lykke
Nielsen, who owns the Maersk sets, this might not be the case. He reports
that the mid-1980's DUPLO set 2756 uses the same exact blue:

Did I hear wrong at BrickFest? Or did LEGO obtain permission to re-use
Maersk Blue?
Does anyone own both a Maersk promo set (with Maersk Blue) and a recent Star
Wars set (with light blue)? Can you confirm that they are different or
identical colors?
Thanks,
--Todd

| (...) Hi Todd, I own both Maersk and SW sets, and NO, it is NOT the same color. I was indeed surprised to find DUPLO in the same color, as I thought as you that it was specific for Maersk promo's. regards Arne, Copenhagen (22 years ago, 3-Sep-02, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.dk)
