Least favorite lego color...

What is your least favorite lego color and why?

I'd go with white because it yellows with time...

~~~New Dark Grey~~~

Hmmm. This is a interesting question. First off though, I have to disagree with you

While white does yellow over time, its uses are innumerable. For a basic wattle and daub house, it is a must. If anyone builds in town (I'm sure everyone has at one point or another) white is a "basic" color that is indispensable, along with red.

Now, to get at the question at hand. There are dozens of different Lego colors, and to chose what the worst one is would be a difficult task. Off the top of my head though, the most useless color is either the light green or the pink. I have not found a use for either of them while I have used (or have ideas for using) every single other color that I have.

Oh yes, how could I forget. The new greys are Decisively useless, though I rather do like the new brown.

New gray. Eithere type. They wreck my whole collection because now I have to decide weither to make it new gray or old. The two don't mix.

New Dark Grey, Light Grey and Brown. They may be useful to .spacers, and as variations to weapons and armor, for the most part they are all terrible for stone and trees. Even worse they are replacing two of my favorite colors. Aside from those colors, I don't like sand colors, they have some uses, but I still don't like them. Limes, pinks, oranges, purples also have very limited appeal. I mostly use 1 x 1 rounds in these colors for fruit. Other than that I don't like them either.

Fortunatly I never have to keep any of these crummy colors as I have kids who are more than happy to take them off my hands.

I can't stand the new dark grey and new brown. (The brown rat in Siruis Black's Escape looks like something a gong farmer would be scooping) They just don't really fit in with a castle setting. The new light grey is OK by itself, but not in combination with its old counterpart.

The other colours have their uses I guess.

Flesh.

I can live with new grey and new brown. I can't mix them into the same MOCs as the old, and I prefer the old, but they CAN co-exist.

By contrast, flesh-coloured figs and yellow figs can't mix for me. It just doesn't jive.

Hello!

There are some greenish colours that I really don't like.
And of course any of the recently changed colours ain't worthy.

I have to agree with Formendacil the flesh tone for the licenced minifigures is to be called something that would be masked as "megablocks" in the chat room...

Bye

Of course the new grays/brown go without saying, but aside from these my least favorite color from recent years is lime green.

I rather like all of the sands and the darks, so if you'd like someone to take them off your hands . . .

Well yeah, the new brown, dark grey, and light grey's.

I too dislike both white and black. They have uses, but I find both are hard to build with. White...it yellows and changes tone, and makes it hard to build with it all looking bright white and equal. Black is very easily dirty looking, and at least for me results in it being hard to build with too.

Then of course there's large amounts of these different tones of green's, blue's, etc., which are only in limited amounts. Several of those colours I really dislike.

I don't like the new dark and light greys (like many others have already said) as I had started a MOC about the time of the colour change so now its getting harder to get the old ones.
I also don't like orange as it seems to bright and just.. to hard to mix in with other colours. In a few small space MOC's I was doing, the orange looked too hard against the brown, grey and tans I was using.

I think we can all agree that almost no one likes the new grays...

Post by **Bruce N H** » Mon Aug 23, 2004 7:20 pm

One other thought--both black and white are very difficult to photograph. With black the details don't stand out, and with white I get all kinds of glare. Since my main (only, really) mode of displaying my MOCs is on-line this is a real issue.

New dark gray and the "flesh" color.
