In a (very, very, very, very tiny) way, I hope they don't go brighter, because then I'll be parting with some money and purchasing some of these.

What was holding me back from buying was for a pin-up theme, four of the girls just looked plain evil; not very pin-uppy at all. With the brighter colors, the red and the orange chips went from the two ugliest to my third and fourth favorites.

Green looks 50 times better as well. The only one that I don't think looks better under the new is purple. The purple under the old actually looks brighter than the purple under the new.

Also, the girls stand out more with the brighter colors. They actually look 3-D to me.
