Brickspace Dictionary: Bley

Bley (n.) (Bl 'ay')
Back in the days of Lego under Kjeild Kirk Kristiansen, all Lego sets were packed with dark-gray coloured bricks. The dark-gray colour Kristiansen was using became faded and brownish in colour after a long period of time or after exposure to harsh light sources and heat (ie. the Sun).

Then, in the early 21st century, Lego discovered this fault and ammended it by creating a new colour of blay - nickname 'Bley' by the Lego Online Community.

In the picture opposite, you can clearly see the difference between the new Bley and the old dark-gray colours.
