Comments.Text: I was a part of this team that worked on the project. I’ll get some notes together in regards to the colors, the changes, the decisions behind making the changes, etc.. A couple of the answers above were very good, actually. Is there a way to post on here some of our original notes from the project? I would be happy to share. Tks, Dav

  Considering that color has been produced explicitely and exclusively for Maersk sets, it's highly unlikely they would change it. Most people seem to [agree](http://www.fbtb.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5130#p52289) that the same color has been used for all Maersk ships sets.
