A few things to contribute here:
1) The new "Royal Red" LE is not very red, IMHO. It looks quite orange/coppery to me. Very pretty, just not red! Hopefully our pictures reflect that correctly, we try to color-adjust everything to make it as accurate to real life as possible.
2) They did switch from more of a royal blue (Blue, L67BE) to a navy blue (Imperial Blue, L67IB). Here's a picture comparison and video too: http://www.gouletpens.com/Articles.asp?ID=334
Hope that helps!
