Hi,
Can anybody tell if these 3 hands are normal yellow?
I bought 600 pieces and the 2 hands on the right are the most common colors.
How many shades of normal yellow are there actually?
Many thanks!!!

Hi!

There are like 30 handcolors: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=983&idColor=3#T=C&C=3

I am not sure you can follow this link to see them all. But here you should be
able to see all the different colors. Otherwise hit the tab "color".

Hope this helps.

That is why I gave you the link

Did you check the list?

To me it seems you got:
Pearl Gold and Bright Light Orange.....

But I guess you already knew that, right?

He's wanting to know how many different variations of the "yellow" shade
there are, not how many different colors the hands come in.


To OP: I've seen a couple different color variations within yellow. It's
hard to tell from the picture, but the bottom one does look like pearl gold or
bright light orange, not yellow. I could be wrong though.

( I think) but I wanted to know for sure

The yellow hands from newer CMF's I have found to be the cheaper looking
not as rich yellow, like the one on the top.

Older hands are the more richer yellow, the middle one.


Think it depends on what factory they are made in, but I have seen 3 shades of
yellow in hands.

There was definitely a period of time in the mid-80s or thereabouts where the
hands (and airtanks!!) were the cheaper-looking, lighter yellow
