Dear all,

I've built myself a color-chart with all existing 3023 plates which are (or
have been) available from Lego. I currently own 73 colors right now. One color
is a "Chrome Pink" plate. I'm happy to send over an image of it but it exactly
what it sounds: a pink, chrome, lego plate 1x2 studs.

My question is: Is it possible that Lego ever produced that on there own as I
can't find it anywhere else other than on my color-chart

Thanks for your thoughts.

Oliver

Chrome is always applied on top of a brick of normal color of slightly smaller
size to accommodate for the thickness of the chrome on studs, bars, clips and
other connecting points.
Chrome Silver is generally applied on top of White or LBG, Chrome Gold on top
of Tan, but AFAIK not always.
Chroming is also done by a lot of third parties. When you describe a pink plate
with Chrome Silver finish, that sounds like custom chroming. It may be genuine,
but I would not bet on it. With very accurate calipers and comparing it to genuine
chromed bricks, you might be able to tell them apart.

If you are describing a brick of which the chrome itself is Pinkish, please post
a picture.

An image would help decide this.
