Gold, has gone through so many different versions I wouldn’t say it ever left.
Burnt orange was never discontinued it just wasn’t used. A color never replaced it and as far as I know it was never officially discontinued
And sand blue has never stopped being in production.
Just because a color stopped being in bionicle doesn’t mean it was stopped being made for other lego themes
But purple came back after 10 years of no purple. Sure its not the same purple, but neither was the gold, blue, silver, green and such…but still it was purple non the less.
These are most certainly all the G1 related colours that were used in Bionicle (Minus the oddities like shiny gold, metalic, or sparkly glowy stuff). Some were also used in G2.
The first purple got discontinued with original brown, grey, dark grey, sand purple, teal, sand red, and many others.
The current purple, known as dark purple has been used since then. Like I said just because lego stops using a color in bionicle doesn’t mean they stopped using it all together
Please tell me what you are trying to say, because by the looks of it your trying say that purple left for 10 years and came back differnt, while that may be true for the bionicle theme its not for the rest of the lego system
While it is true that lego never brings back the exact same shade of a color, i feel that the 01 teal was succeeded by bright azure in the ifb monsters in the same way the new blueish violet suceeded the old reddish violet in g1 bionicle. The biggest difference is that bright azure is more of a cyan color, and while that was also useful to fill out the lego palette, I think a true aquamarine color would be more than welcome. It would esentially be a true blue green mix (leaning more towards green to set it apart from azure) and I feel that would at least satisfy me in my mourning of old teal, lol.
I really enjoyed the vibrant color aesthetic of the early years. They seemed brighter on BIONICLE pieces than on the standard brick system. Maybe that’s just nostalgia talking…
I haven’t gotten aroundt to seeing the new sets for 2016, but for the 2015 wave looked like it tried to bring that back, which I appreciate. (Except it still doesn’t pop as much IMO. Oh well, what can you do?)
I feel like BIONICLE has been good at color choice and design throught the years, there haven’t been too many atrocities concerning ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ of colors.
No sure if this belongs here or not. But has anyone notice that the trans-blue used in 2015 sets is not the same as in G1 (at least in 2007 sets)?
I mean the new ones are not as fluorescent as the old ones. I was playing with the UV black-light, and notice that, while all trans-red and trans-green pieces light up under it, the trans-blue pieces on Kopaka and Ekimu did not. But when I tried shining black-light on the old G1 sets, Takadox and Nocturn, their trans-blue pieces did glow.
They are really similar but the new one is darker and more green, I personally think the old color looks more like ice but it drifted to close to trans clear hence why it was changed
