| questions- help with the new colors produced years 2000 and later---
is a resource for a larger color guide that is at least downloadable ? maybe
that I could take to a print shop for reproduction?
how do YOU use the one on this website?
Do you print it out?
I wish someone would make and sell a poster sized laminated glossy color guide
that had a large example of the color visible rather than the tiny example shown
here.
Any tips that you use? I want a large poster I can hang on the wall, and actually
hold the
part up against to get the correct shade of color. Right now i basically sort
of guess by process of elimination, it does not always work, I have had to issue
refunds due to wrong shade. I know all the old colors, but now there are so so
many new shades, does Lego have such a resource they could give/ sell to brick
link?
thanks for sharing your experience with this,

I like the one curated by Ryan at http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php - you can
click on a color and it links to his flickr of actual bricks in that color.

His photos are very good… but that doesn’t help a badly calibrated screen, or
the simple fact that screen and a real brick are two different things.
(And I wouln’t even try to print pictures.)
The best colour guide is a palette of real bricks. Make sure of your colours,
by their origin: inventory of the set, uniqueness of shape/colour combination,
or because they come from a trusted seller.

It's easy to make your own guide: find a decorated part that only comes in
one color and use that for direct comparison. There are too many variants in
printing and monitors to trust any other method.
