It's not even a contest: Lime green. Eeeee-yuck!
I have utterly nothing against the new grays beyond Lego has chosen not to keep producing the old grays. I must admit I'm not a fan of New Brown, but then I wasn't that big of a fan of Old Brown. I find both useful, however, unlike Lime Green.

All the light blue colors, and puke (lime) green. I for one don't mind the new colors, but I don't embrace them either.
I like the NBA fleshtone, but the new spiderman/harry parter/star wars flashtone is so...pale. It'll make great plauge victims, though.

I won't stone you. I will even agree and support you. That blue sucks. It has no uses. I liked the old brighter blue better.architect wrote:I know some members will try to stone me but....
I don't like Maersk blue at all. (The Maersk Ship is an awesome model though). The color reminds me of a 1960's swimming pool color and that bothers me very much.

Hello!
Aside from this I agree this colour is not of much use.

In fact this Maersk blue is the oldest brighter blue of all. IIRC it first appeared in 1974 in set 1650 and thus it is even older than dark grey and brown. Whilst Maersk blue was the only non-standard blue TLC produced it was vastly used in the Legoland for any model that required a lighter blue than the usual standard blue. Since they produced a different shade of light blue, even several different shades of blue since the late 90ies they decided this special Maersk blue was obsolete. So they dumped it. The 10151 freighter is not the first model with Maersk blue but the last. :-)Robin Hood wrote:I won't stone you. I will even agree and support you. That blue sucks. It has no uses.

I don't care so much about the new grey and brown, the latter is actually pretty good. What I cannot stand is pink and flesh. I HATE having good parts like a spiral staircase, fences, and rare bricks but in PINK!
But, they'd stone us at CC if I used them in my MOCs, my precious...
BUT THEY"RE GREAT PARTS, my love!
Yes, my love... But we cannot use them, can we,my precious?
**Sniff** No, no.... Don't tell us, we knows, we knows!
Sell them on BrickLink we must, to get money for new parts, my precious, my love....
Yes! Yes, my precious! Then we will buy good old pieces and take them for MEEEEEE!!!!
For us.
Hehe, yes, my precious, I meant for us...

It is a old story, but still I dislike the new greys, mainly becouse they replaced the old ones, so I can't choose any longer. Were they only added, than it wouldn't have any problem to me.
But complaining about that is like complaining about the weather; a short relief but totally fruitless.
All the other colours don,t bother me too much. Sometimes they can be useful for some nice additions.
In my opinion, some colours like the (old)grey, red, white and some others should have to stay "forever" so you can extent your collection as long as you wish.
But how do I tell it to Mr LEGO....

This dark orange color I got in Border Ambush. I seriously doubt I will ever use those pieces again. The color alone is not a favorite of mine, reminds me of things best not said.
Although, I thought about admitting that white was annoying me most because of the color fade (it is the color I am building with right now). And I also thought about the color changes, but nope, dark orange wins least liked for me.

REDDISH [MEGABLOKS] BROWN!!


I actually have a fairly large collection of the old brown (which I really liked) that I often use for MOCs, such as the brown bear I made. But now I'm forced to accept this distasteful excuse of a colour into my collection?! NEVER!! OK, I actually used those 1x1 re**** brown slopes as ears for my bear, but that's about it... Do I make myself clear?!
