The following colors *may* have been produced, there is some circumstantial evidence,
but I can't confirm yet:

The "Known Colors" list is a misnomer because it is populated automatically by
the system *only if* the item in question is included in an inventory. Since
this gear item is not part of any inventories, the list will not be populated.
There is nothing that the Catalog Admin team can do about that.

Cheers,
Randy

I'm struggling with the colours, I can see many have been listed as normal

Is anyone able to suggest the colours in my photo. My thoughts are (left to

grey (this one is complicated as one sheet looks almost dark bluish grey and
the other dark grey / charchol), and top Mx foil red.

Thanks for any help, struggling here.

They were never 'merged' iirc. They just didn't realize back then
they were different colors. And by the time they did realise, it was too much
of a hassle to separate them. Not worth the trouble for those few parts.

Sky Blue was known long before Medium azure arrived, that's why they are
separate colors.

Same situation, different historical route.

Personally I'd keep them separated (and would like the others, the pinks,
the violets etc, to be separated asswel). Sky Blue is noticeably lighter than
Medium Azure, for me at least.

There are few opposite examples for different Lego colors that was merged to
one color in BL like 112 Medium Bluish Violet and 219 Lilac- they are both called
in BL Medium Violet, or 22 Medium Reddish Violet and 221 Bright Purple- they
are both called in BL Dark Pink.
So why we don't do it with Medium Azure and Sky Blue? They are much closer
from the other colors I mentioned.

I want to understand the logic behind it.

The colours are barely different and it sure is difficult to tell them apart
for common parts… but they are different colours:
— BL Sky Blue = LEGO Dove Blue, code 232, production years: 2004-2007
— BL Medium Azure = LEGO Medium Azur, code 322, production years: 2012-
http://www.ryanhowerter.net/colors.php

There’s a few colours like that that were “specialized” and more or less short-lived
and were “almost resurrected” as newer, more generic colours (e.g. Maersk Blue).
Practically, the only way to be sure is to know the origin of the parts.

But the monkey in it seems to have brown limbs and the body is a strange colour.
I don't have much experience with the much older browns but the body does
look more Reddish Brown. However that did not exist in 1990.

I have a photo here against the modern Reddish Brown.

Did the old Brown come in different shades?

At least on monkey parts yes its a known issue - probably just down to different
plastic used.

I sold one recently and added a note 'All parts are old brown but legs are
duller shade than body'

I've had them in the past like that from sets 6270 and 6285 which are the
same era as your set above.

6270-1 (Inv) Forbidden Island
164 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1989
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I

6285-1 (Inv) Black Seas Barracuda (Dark Shark)
845 Parts, 8 Minifigures, 1989
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I

Thank you very much for the information. Makes perfect sense.

According to the inventory the body of the monkey did come in both Reddish Brown
and Brown.

2550 Monkey Body
Parts: Animal, Body Part

It is hard to tell from the picture, but it does appear that you have a RB body
with Brown legs. I have one from

6290-1 (Inv) Pirate Battle Ship {Red Beard Runner Reissue}
677 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2001
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I

and can confirm that even though the legs (minifig arms) are more glossy
in finish, they are closer in color for a full Brown fig than what you picture
is showing.

Hopefully these could be added by someone with a little more spare time than
a university student, otherwise I would have added them myself. However felt
it was better to let someone who can take their time to do it.

LEGO does not consider them a different color, and BrickLink is not going to
differentiate them. If you want to separate them in your store like some separate
the various shades of Pearl Gold, then that is up to you.

Sets: Super Heroes: Spider-Man

This is the first time that happen to me this fact.
In the instructions there are showed 18x Tile Round 1x1 in Trans Yellow but checking
better you can see how 16 of 18 are completely different from the standard Trans
Yellow.

In my picture you can see:

1) Slopes and plates in trans yellow
2) a group of tiles where the first two are trans yellow and below there are
two plate in Trans Neon Green for comparision.

I think that it could be probably due to a different composition of the material
but how I can consider them in the inventory...and most of all, in the shop?

Brittle Blue or yellowed blue.

"Brittle Blue" means the parts are of very bad quality. Actually the name explains

It's not that it's rare, it's that it's not an official color.
I think there is a market for brittle blue pieces but yellowed blue parts are
just blue parts that have yellowed over time.

For a mosaic, you could use the 1x1 plates in Very Light (Bluish) Gray to extend
your shades of gray.

Don't mix the old and newer shades of gray in one build, unless your intention
is to roughen up the look. They are not lighter or darker, just warmer / yellower
/ aged more.

Thanks for the help!

I don't think that light gray is intermediate between light bluish gray and

not always easy to tell the difference between them). I don't know that there
is a color that is really in between the two, aside from a few parts that might
be described as "medium gray" or "medium bluish gray".

Yes I guess it's not, but it was in the site color list I based my project

I'm thinkin that maybe flat silver might be the solution?
Or is that too "metallic" a finish?

It's not official but it *is* mostly reflective of actual Lego colors. I
believe the official Lego color name for what we call "light bluish gray" here
on BrickLink is "medium stone grey", the older color (BL "light gray") was simply
"grey".

Yeah if you look at the current two bluish grey colours they are so significantly
far apart from each other that I am surprised Lego have'nt released a shade
between the two though I expect that will one day come as shades of grey are
extremely popular for both space and castle as well as many other builds

Strangely they seem to have poked around with too many very light greys for some
reason when you consider we've had Light Grey, Light Bluish Grey and Very
Light Bluish Grey

But in answer to the OP I think sellers on sites like ebay assume most buyers
ar'nt fully aware of Lego colour names let alone Bricklinks and so I for
one just call them Light and Dark grey on ebay as this is the best colour representation.
If I start calling them Bluish Grey I think most people would think I'm refering
to a colour closer to Sand Blue than that of a shade of grey

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I assumed the bricklink color chart was official
and reflective of actual lego colors in production, and that is where I went
wrong I guess.
I haven't seen very light bluish grey listed anywhere though, that also might
have been a good option.
Is it as hard to find as the other "older" colors?

Your original assumption is correct, they are in fact two different colors.
The problem that you might run into on bulk seller sites is that they might not
care. Finding bulk lots of Light gray is a difficult task as it gets mixed in
or seller just don't care. It can be a little difficult to tell the color
difference, but when you have them in your hand it's obvious (at least to
me). There is a slight bluish hue to the newer color and the older color tends
to be more dull from age.

Thanks for the reference image. I see the difference is really not that huge,
but then again it is between dark grey and dark bluish. Is Dark Grey as difficult
to find as light grey?

Hello everyone,
I've created a mosaic project tha took me quite a long time to figure out,
and I find myself in a pickle having it based on the bricklink color guide. I
thought light grey and light bluish grey were 2 different colors, and bought
them accordingly from separate sellers.
As no one on the site seemed to have light grey in stock, I went to e.bay and
bought quite a big lot of it. Only to find out that it was in fact the same color
as what I thought was light bluish grey.
As I seem to have understood reading through the forum they are in fact the same
thing, as light grey was an old color now completely replaced by what bricklink
calls "bluish".
First of all, what the hell.
Second of all, now I can no longer finish the project, as I really need an intermediate

On brick owl the same Item number says "white horse blabla eyes and BROWN

I have a lot of them, and some sure look brown, some sure dark orange (I dont
think it is just faded)
but there seems to be no distinction in the item number...

if I want to sell them - do I put both under the same item number???

thanks a lot for your help!!

It is printed, so it is neither of them. Some examples are close to one of the
colours, other examples closer to the other. And many somewhere in between. If
you have any that are far from the named colour, I'd mention it so a buyer
knows what they are getting. Otherwise, ignore it, as there are often variations
in print density and hence colour.

I actually reprocessed them as well. I will go through your submissions and see
if they offer improvement over mine. I notice in some of yours, the Dark Blue
has turned to Black.

Image credit of course will be given to the original submitter.

I thought it WAS black. If all of those sticker prints are dark blue, I don't
have the skills to take the orange out and leave the blue. I masked off some
obvious colors and then took the color out entirely.

I believe the Lufthansa logo is always Dark Blue:

The windows are black though.

I used Irfanview, and in half the cases, Auto-Adjust Colors did the trick. In
the other ones I used the Color Corrections feature. If you click on an area
in the left image that is supposed to be white, it makes the adjustment for you.

Yep! I have shipped, or almost shipped, the wrong color on more than one occasion.
Tan and Dark Tan renders are also terrible and nigh indistinguishable at times.

As similar things happened to me as well in the past, i started to dig into the
settings here.

You can choose to show a color box and the color name directly, in your order
settings.
Then the small Image is shown, next to it the color box, and then the real color
name.

Learn or adjust to pack only by the colorname and box, this way you eradicate
most picking errors. Never pack from the shown pictures, as they are wrong some
times.
Unlearn what you have learned. *

I reprocessed the pics. I'm waiting to hear from the photographer and admins
about submitting them and letting the credit stay in the original name.

Is there a way to see all available Lego parts in a specific colour - either
here on BL or other sites?

Rather than searching for individual pieces that might not exist in a certain
colour, I'd like to see the parts that are available/do exist to help with
MOCs.

If you go to the catalog tab there is a color guide part which lists all the
colors and you can then select from there to see all the parts that are made
in that colour

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?utm_content=subnav

Note that there are different ways of defining 'color exists':

(1) Is it for sale? If there are only a few available worldwide, check those
listings: if they say 'HTF' (hard to find) they are probably legit; if
they are cheap with no specification and generally no image: they are likely
non-existent results of typos.

(2) On wanted lists: This is just wishful thinking of Bricklink users, hoping
that the part will someday appear in that color.

(3) Appearing in sets: Did LEGO bring out a set (and does Bricklink have the
inventory of this set) in which this part appears in that color. Some parts are
available in colors even though they never came out in a set. Beware, as those
ghost parts may be rather expensive.

These 3 different ways all appear on the above Color Guide page. And then there
is:

(4) Proof of existence: is there an actual photo of the part in the Bricklink
catalog? This can be seen in store listings and on the catalog page.

That link was exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted to know if parts
I want exist and are for sale and if not, find something similar that might do
(or actually be better than the ones I considered). Cheers

I like the old renders because they are better for color. Where did the pictures
for the categories in BL XP come from? They are crisp and the colors seem decent.

The edge lines on the representative renders on XP came as a result of tens of
thousands of Studio renders being set aside during the 2017 image project. Here's
one of the ones that made it through:

3020 Plate 2 x 4
Parts: Plate {Dark Gray}

With no edge lines and only a minimal amount of shading, a majority of those
images lacked enough definition at a small size to be an improvement over the
classic "black line" render. So in most cases, official LEGO renders were used
instead:

3020 Plate 2 x 4
Parts: Plate {Light Bluish Gray}

The standard rendering engine on Studio is configured more for entire models
than single parts, so for those XP images, we used a special processing system
that is not part of the regular Studio package. They were not batch produced
- each one was hand crafted.

The trouble with renders is that line-drawn renders like those representative
images are "tuned" to an optimal size. Troy's renders were given edge lines
just thick enough to look great at 80 x 60. If they would be shown smaller or
bigger than that you would need to adjust the line thickness. Those of you who
have used LDraw and some of the popular rendering tools associated with it, you
may be familiar with that setting.

In modern web design, images are often expected to be used at a variety of sizes.
The old BrickLink did not have that challenge. All part images on the site were
small and exactly the same standard size, except for the large "see it closer"
images which would open in another setting and were often a different image entirely
from the "thumbnail". I hesitate to even call those images thumbnails because
they actually were the standard for the site. All the catalog list pages, inventories,
order detail pages, etc (and even the Forum macro tags) were only shown at that
standard. Yes, there are/were ways to see the large images in some different
views, but most of the time people were looking at the small ones.

If you do more renders in the future, please, enable the setting to show the
word LEGO on the studs... the XP images may be confused as knock-offs brands...

The brick is LBG and the slope white.

Having the old renders would be an improvement. The images that RecycledBrick

This has been bugging me for a while. Many years ago the color of the rendering
images was changed. Ever since, I have had trouble telling the difference between
some color images. I know others complained about it also. Because of this,
I make mistakes when pulling the right color parts.

I have no trouble telling the difference between any colors of real bricks or
any of the photo images. It is only the part renderings. Maybe if enough people
can't tell either, we can get it changed to something that is easier to see.

So, who can tell the difference between these two images? One is white and one
is LBG. They are screen shots of rendered parts without any editing. What say
you?

Yep! I have shipped, or almost shipped, the wrong color on more than one occasion.
Tan and Dark Tan renders are also terrible and nigh indistinguishable at times.

I agree that the older renders with the black edges were terrific. One reason
was their simplicity, but another was consistency. I've browsed stores
where I'm looking at one color category of parts, and the small images are
not all the same color. (This is most noticeable with light bluish gray and
dark tan.)

I would love an option for viewing the original style thumbnail images. Maybe
it could be some checkbox or dropdown menu option?

All attached images are just for nostalgia.

I think they are very ugly and I have spent hours and hours replacing them because

at the 80 x 60 size, and I've long considered the idea of bringing them back

The trouble we have with White images now is that the definition of the brick
is created not by hard lines but by shading. The old renders had no shading,
so the color was perfectly clear and consistent throughout the image. Although
some of the larger parts had interference from the heavy black stud lines.

With the new LEGO renders, they are bigger of course, and are superior from a
marketing standpoint because of the elegant shading, which sort of puts them
halfway between a render and a photo. But I'm thinking they are not so great
when it comes to hardcore order pulling where you want to keep the images small
so you get more inventory lines per screen.

For newer users, take a look here to see what the old renders looked like:

The images from LEGO are very poorly rendered with way too much light and shadow

clarity but couldn't be enlarged, so what we have now is just a decent compromise.
Since the site changed to using renders, members like randyf have spent countless
hours manually adjusting each image to visually match a color.

The White items are particularly bad. I am happy to help fix any items that still
have bad part renders that are bothering you. Just send me a message with the
number and color and I will upload a color-corrected image to replace the one
we have. I really don't mind helping so don't be shy!

I will fix the White slope from your example.

Probably happened to me a hundred times when picking orders. For me it is not
just the close proximity of the colour renders. When i pick orders i do so off
a laptop and if you don't have the screen at the right angle it makes the
colour proximity worse.

I am yet to pick the wrong coloured part but that is because i always double
check and go back and read what colour it is. So no mistakes, but costs me time
when picking.

For me the 1x1 brick with stud is the lbg and the 1x3 slope is the white one.
