I would of said dark nougat too but you're right that it doesn't exist.
Is it brown?
Definitely a Lego piece?

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

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

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

Same situation, different historical route.

This post perfectly sums things up concerning the colors.

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.

  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 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.

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.

17 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1989
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I

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.

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

Thanks for any help.

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

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

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.
