Isn't the note on medium violet outdated, as of the addition of Lilac?

The note on rust is also outdated. We know well by now that the "rust"
parts of 1979 - 1992, and those of 2004-2005, are intentional colors, being [TLG
13 - Red Orange] and [TLG 216 - Rust] respectively, and that the 1997- 2000 "Rust"
is just bad red [TLG 21 - Bright Red]. There's really no ambiguity to be
had there.

Both of those sections were indeed outdated and so have been removed. Thanks
for noticing.

Cheers,
