Faber-Castell Color Name Changes

I've bought a set of 60 Faber-Castell Polychromos on the last week from Germany, and this week I read somewhere that Faber-Castell is renaming some colors. I went to check right away if I got the pencils with the old or new color names. Fortunatelly, it has the new color names.
