| Hi,
I think this may be a stupid question.... however, i'm confused about how
there are X number of colours under known for a certain item, then there are
Y (often a lot more) colours on sale of that item.
For instance i'm in the process of making colour minifigures with all my
plain spare parts, and there are about 30 known colours of a plain torso, but
then about 60 colours on sale?
Thanks!

'Known colours' means that this part is known to have appeared in a set
in this color. There are many parts out there that were never released in a set.
Sources of these may be model shops factory escapes, pick a brick walls, test
bricks or sets that have not been inventories yet.
'For sale' means just that. If you see a part for sale in a color that
is not known, you'd better check carefully: if it is only a few lots world
wide, or for a very low price, it is possibly a typo or misinterpreted color.
If it says "HTF" in the description or is accompanied by an original picture,
you know it is indeed the non-common color.
