Eric, not as of yet, BP dropped a comment about Ice Blue going bye, but that's about it.

Stay tuned.

I'm very surprised by Olive Gold going bye bye...it's an amazing color on everything I've seen it on.

NOT GRAPHITE PEARL! THAT WAS GONNA BE MY NEXT SILO! Oh well, you guys always come out with amazing colors, so I'm sure they will get replaced with something else totally loveable that I'll order it in.

interesting, 2-8 are fairly new just introduced, must not have caught on.

Suprised at graphite pearl always liked that color, true gold is nice the GC I use has a true gold silo, would have bought it except i have the Gold Roller.

Like the pics of Cabernet Pearl but never saw it in person.

Olive Gold suprise me most, classy finish looked great on everything i saw it on both in person and pics.

have to be honest not suprised on the blue colors, just not my cup of tea especially Ice Blue, I have a term my buddies and I used to use for that color but i wont mention it

Wouldn't have minded an ice blue AL at some point, but I'm not really bothered about colors being discontinued, as there will always be something cool available.

I think you'll easily be able to find one of those in the GC system. I keep seeing them at GCs around here--that and the black Luke with natty headstock.

Yeah I'm surprised by the Olive Gold disappearing. It always looked pretty sweet to me. But wait, it was green, wasn't it....
