| Hello! 
There is a bit of confusion in the use of the listings of the Brick Costume Assemblies,
and I'm not sure how to fix them. Here is the list of assemblies:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=37191&in=P
The list there has individual listings for each combination of arm and hand color,
and it's not clear if the intent is to have individual listings for each
combination of arm, hand, and costume (brick) color.
Three of the assembly listings, 37191c01, 37191c04, and 37191c05, have lots for
sale in color options that are not identified as Known Colors. This is strong
evidence that the sellers of these combinations do not understand the differences
in the way these items are listed and are selecting the base assembly (37191)
or one as close to what they have as possible, and then choosing a different
costume color with the arm and hand color listed that hasn't been produced.
Lego has not officially created any assembly with differently colored arms than
the costume, and it is considered an illegal building technique to remove the
arms and change that combination, but it is possible to do so.
So how can I help clean up those color selections? Is there a method to reach
out to the sellers with incorrect listings and have their listings corrected?
If that were corrected, would the alternate color details correct itself (there
is price guide information for incorrect colors on 37191c05)?
I'm hoping there's a good way to help correct this little problem, and
make it more clear to sellers in the future how the listings are broken out.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Maybe the catalog can combine the same body, arms and hands color to the entry
