Kind of looks the same to me. Did they actually change the color, or just the photo representation? I think they've changed how MC Red looks in the design center at least once that I recall.
That said, I've said this numerous times, but I still find it slightly comical. If the grey got darker, it gets worse. Our color options are:
White, White, basically White, basically Black, basically Black, basically Black, Black, Brown, and Red
That's not to belittle anyone's color choice, they're all nice, but if they made color changes, I was hoping for some bolder choices beyond more blacks and whites.
