The color selection doesn't make sense. No black, no gray, no regular green (only hellgrün, which is not supported by any expansion figures), a very light cyan instead of blue, and instead of brown or "natural" there's an extra never-before-seen color in between pink and purple. What a mess. Were the color choices made by somebody's 5-year-old on bring-your-kid-to-work day?
This is useless and irritating for those of us who chase figures in all the official Carcassonne colors.
But I guess it's consistent with HiG's general philosophy of not giving a crud about consistency.
Fortunately I can just consider these to be officially Carcassonne II meeples, and then I can ignore them.
