I don't know, but I would not be surprised, since we now have blue axle pin with
friction for structural uses.

I preferred it when they were black, a far more neutral colour for building
realistic models. Since it is a structural element, you *have* to use them
in many places, and the coloured ones can clash with the colour scheme of a
model.

Yep. This is my major issue with Znap, actually.. .the connector elements (which
are generally even MORE visible than technic pins) only come in one color each,
but are different for different types of connectors, and it's well nigh
impossible to build a realisticly colored model.

Blacks and greys are definitely the right thing for these elements IMHO.

Yep!
