If the likelihood that 22 Medium Reddish Violet is ever going to be recognized
by BrickLink is low, then the notes page should at least contain a note about
the color. It was retired alongside old brown and the old grays.
22 Medium Reddish Violet:
Introduced in 1994 in the Belville theme.
Experienced consistency issues in 2003. Some bricks were much darker than intended/lacked
colorant quite often.
Replaced in 2004 by 221 Bright Purple as part of the color change (Though, 221
made its first appearance in 2003 Clikits sets. This theme did not use 22 Medium
Reddish Violet)
Used in three “floor cleaning” sets as part of LEGO’s cleanup project of old
colors up until 2005.
221 Bright Purple:
Introduced in the Clikits theme in 2003. Available outside of that theme starting
in 2004.
Original shade is significantly redder than Medium Reddish Violet.
Reformulated around 2009 to be more consistent. Now resembles 22 Medium Reddish
Violet more than its original 2004 shade.
Do we know if this page even experiences any sort of traffic? It would be nice
to see this added to the color guide.

That page is not meant to be an exhaustive outline of the history of all LEGO
colors. It is meant to be a guide for color issues in the history of the BrickLink
marketplace. I have never heard of any issues in the marketplace concerning the
inability to tell old and new dark pink apart from each other and why they don't
have two separate colors. That is most likely due to the fact that the two colors
are virtually indistinguishable to the naked eye. I believe this sort of information
is better left to other sites focused on LEGO color history.
Cheers,
Randy

While sorting, I’m sure we all come across bricks That have had a hard life or
have had a challenging journey. This time I’m erring towards this brick actually
coming from the factory as a dual colour brick rather than it being bleached
or something
What do you think ?

It sat submerged in something. The part that is discolored is beginning to degrade,
and the back of the brick is disgusting and has remnants of whatever it was in
the tubes. That brick is fit for nothing but the trash.

kind of looks like it sat sideways in a bucket or something that had 1/4"
of like bleach or cleaning fluid in it.. thus the basically straight line discoloration.
refernce Slag Glass as an example, if it is true Marbeling of colors, there would
be noticable swirling

The line between the colours looks very straight compared to most marbled bricks
I have seen. It might be genuinely produced that way, or it could have been that
the surface of this brick was partially immersed in something that has bleached
the colour. There seems to be a chip on the lighter side on the bottom that is
the darker of the two colours under the surface.

I onetime found a 1x6 plate in set that was half light bluish gray and half dark
bluish gray. The colors were split straight down the middle of the plate so I
think there is a good chance that this is a type of marbled brick.

| These marbled bricks sometimes appear in the wild
Like these:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1279787
Usually caused by either mixing two or more different colors on accident or changing
colors in the molding machines.
Collectors might be interrested. Especially since its a 3001.

| I agree with novabrick and rylie_aitch; those parts are "Brittle Blue."

These were originally just blue.
Blue parts that change to a somewhat greenish blue tend to be really brittle
and easily snap when slightly flexing them. That is at least an observation I
made several times.

| | Hi everyone,
I bought a bulk of unsorted bricks, but I need help to identify the color of
two parts that seems that aren't molded in any existing color: in my photo
are the 2x6 plate (3795) and the inverted slope (52501).
The tile at left is in blue, the wedge at right is in dark blue
Thanks in advantage

I don't think they are discolored or yellowed because also the underside
and the sides are in the same color and they are solid as they are new.
I noticed that the slope has a damage on the back like someone has been "sliced"
it and inside the color it's the same

yep, it’s “brittle blue”, made sometime between 2005 and 2010. These aren’t yellowed
in the normal way; there’s something about the chemical composition of that era
of bricks that causes them to darken and become brittle (which is why the corner
of your slope shattered). It would have looked like normal Bright Blue originally.

The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Great question, the baby dinosaur part in tan always confused me as it's
not in any sets, but there are a decent amount of them for sale.
|
It’s the part underneath the metallic gold paint of the metallic gold version.
Leftover stock that got sold away to the public years ago.

I wonder what would that proof could look like....
An invoice from PAB with a line 'prototype part'?
Can someone give an actual example of proof of purchase that would be accepted
by BL?
|
If bought from online PAB, then the paper invoice they send has all parts listed.
If instore PAB, maybe a photo of the PAB tower, although the majority of parts
I have ever seen on a PAB wall have already been common parts. Whereas online
PAB has had parts that were not (yet) released in the past.
It is more likely that they would be from one of the German warehouse type stores
or LEGOLAND builder stock than from PAB.
