There are 3 shades of yellow, 4 of red, 4 of blue and 2 of green. It just makes me feel wonderful that I have so many of them. In the lower picture I have marked the colors that are present in this box. It is a small leaflet, again very different from the one shown in the older boxes. This was a color chart contained in the box. Well, as long as they didn't compromise on the colors who cares! The pans themselves are made of lightweight plastic and seem a bit too flimsy, but then I guess in a bid to make their product as cheap as possible they used cheap materials for the containers.
