iPod "new" shuffle colors?

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I didn't see it after a quick search. Are the "new" shuffle colors really new? I think apple just went back to their first generation of colors, but with orange swapped for RED.

Here are the first batch of colors:

and here are the new colors (at top of page; the second generation is below in this same link):

Looks to me like the blue, green, and pink that they just switched to are exactly the same as the original blue, green, and pink. 😱

Yea, the more pastel colors were not very popular.

good thing I have a rare orange shuffle now. I wonder why they did not include that color this time.

Well I know the pastels are out, my question is, aren't these "new" colors the very same colors as before?

Me either because from what I can tell on the net the orange Nano is quite popular.

Yes, they're the same, should've brought the orange back. You can still get one at the refub store though.

I said yes. They are very similar to the old colors.
