Which puts BrickLink in a situation, since we already call 111 Transparent Brown
"Trans-Black" here It's Medium Brown all over again.

personally

The design is great but I'm not crazy about the color. Of course it's
Star Wars so it's going to be gray. But it would look much better in classic
space blue.

Oh as far as I know it isn't. I'm just not a fan of drab Star Wars ships,
I would that TLG could liven them up a bit

Gah… what’s next, a Trans-Dark Blue?

Also, I’d have reserved 375 for some kind of yellow or stonish colour

It looks great!!

I guess this is the first goodbye to 111 Transparent Brown? LEGO’s recent transparent
purge is pretty strange. Still very sad to see Trans-Neon Green following suit.

Yup. No more Trans-Neon Green after this year. I don’t think there’s an article
on this, which is surprising given that it is a beloved color.

Source? I thought that just Trans-Neon Orange retired (possibly due to formula
issues with the new plastic).

Change Trans-Dark Blue over to Trans-Blue (it made sense when there were just
two blues, but we don't call Trans-Green "Trans-Dark Green", AND
THEN make this Trans-Dark Blue

Personally, I like calling 111 "Trans-Smoke"

In general, I trust in BL staff to use a better color naming scheme for the trans-blacks
than TLG 😊

Still not sure about Light Brown, though. Would prefer something like Bionicle
Brown 😉

Trans-Orange then?

"Trans-Bluish Black", fitting with the (not-so-great) names for the greys
(Warm/Cool Gray would be better ugh)

So, after these new colors are being introduced (and I’m sure there will be more
new trans colors) wouldn’t it just be easier (and less confusing) to just use
TLG’s color names on BL? I do always wonder why BL has their own names. Somebody
wanna help me understand that? Thanks! 😊 🍕

Believe me, some of BrickLink’s names are better. I wouldn’t want to call Brown
“Earth Orange” all the time. However, I believe that “Trans-Black” is an inaccurate
name and should have been changed many years ago. The color is much more brown
than black.

Definitely going to be weird. What I wonder is if Transparent Brown will stay,
while we see new and old pieces in the Transparent Black color.

Well, there’s quite a few (=42) (old) Trans-Black parts in the BDP Series 1 palette
in Studio… so there’s a chance they will still be produced in 2024, when the
sets will be produced.

… Unless LEGO changes them to Trans-Blackest during production.

Per Ryan, the 2023 palette has it and opal marked as EXIT 31-12-2024; so it's
all but confirmed it's retiring, but parts may still be in production through
2024.

Image from later in the video.
Docent look Black to me more like some sick medium blue color.
We really need a image where the both the new color and the old are side by side.

And i agree with other people in here.
You don't change a name that been in the database for over 20 years, you
make a new one.

Agreed. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change the old name. A new name for
the new colour would seem best since other colour names arnt based off how lego
has them so why do we need this one to if it will be at the cost of a very well
known name

I disagree. There’s no reason to create more confusion for the next 20 years.
LEGO isn’t going to change their color names, so we should try our best to match
their names going forward. Calling the current smoky color Trans-Black was a
terrible choice from the start.

Are we sure that this is not just Trans-Satin Black?

Since Trans-Black is already taken on BrickLink, we could call it Trans-White.
Trans-White is still available.
