Recent discussion regarding similar clone horse in red.

  Not in Lego horses, you might find other colours in clone versions.

  Is it possible to find a horse in a different color besides the three that are
offered? I'm doing a MOC design but need a horse in purple, red and yellow.
Not sure if its even possible to do without painting them myself.

Looks like they might have used a mixture of MABS and ploycarbonate clear parts.

Why are we still talking about this, there are many videos on YouTube discussing
the colour grey.(I recommend watching R.R. Slugger he knows just about all there
is to know about old Lego colours and sets)

Please time to move on and try to forget the poor decisions that Lego made.(like
retiring trans neon green)

  It's because Lego replaced light grey with light bluish grey a long time
back so now all the light greys are harder to get, unfortunately.

It isn't even because it was a long time back. The price of light gray spiked
FAST. People have gotten used to LBG, maybe because they had to, but a year
after the switch light gray was rare and expensive. I think the custom builders
didn't want to make the switch.

Hi, I have a big bag full of the old light gray pieces. If you want to send me
a list of the pieces you need, I will see if I have them. I also have a big
bag full of the old dark gray pieces as well.

Do you realise this thread was from five and a half years ago?

I had always believed 100% the change was made to save money. That was something
I respected. But now I read this for the first time https://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=1791

I always assumed it was because of Star Wars, that the old grey and dark grey
colors weren't quite up to snuff to depict SW sets.

It's only 18 different names for Gray but with recent dye lot differences,
it will be 50 shades.

Skins only, like Medium Tan and Medium Brown

(Well, with luck, a couple plates for BrickHeadz…)

I wonder if both Transparent Neon Greens were dropped in favor of these. Umber
Brown looks too much like Dark Brown. :/

Both? Do you think Trans-Bright Green is gone? I guess we'll see... I do
think that these "Restricted" or temporary colors don't necessarily
follow the one-in-one-out rule like Vibrant Yellow or Reddish Orange might. But
all it takes is a BrickHeadz set or a LegoLand model to get them in useful bricks
and plates, so here's hoping


402 Reddish Orange
422 Sienna Brown
423 Umber Brown

I was referring to 339, which is also gone as of today.

Ah yeah, of course. I'm still unsure if those transparent-effect colors actually
take up palette spots or not...

It’s as simple as this, if you can’t tell the difference in the renders, than
it’s a colour not needed.

Agreed. Many recent colors are awfully similar to older colors. Hell, some of
them are virtually indistinguishable from one another. I believe this new Sienna
Brown looks like Dark Nougat.

Hard to say with only renders but it indeed seems so

And Sienna Brown looks very much like Medium Brown.  We need real comparisons.
