Seriously? Light trans-black would have been a more appropriate identifier as
there is a noticeable difference, however there is nothing brown about this color
that we are now calling trans-brown.

Just like there is nothing brown about old mud "grey"

LEGO's official name for the old color is Transparent Brown. I think Rylie's
comparison highlights how brown the old color really is in comparison:

It is absolutely brown. Shine a light behind a part and look at the piece. Nothing
about it is black.

This has been in place for quite a while now, and the entire membership was notified
through email last year when the change took place. Have you been away for a
while?

Once you compare them side by side, like the one shown in the link posted by
1001bricks, you can see that old trans brown is very accurate.

I have looked at them side by side, and I agree there is a difference, as previously
noted. I do not agree, however, that brown is an accurate description.
