Lime
Dark Purple
Medium Lavender
Bright Pink
Medium Azure
Magenta

colors typically associated with Friends sets

I sell a lot of Medium Azure, though not as much as Medium Blue, which is extremely
popular over the past year. I also sell a lot of Dark Purple, though far more
specialty parts than regular bricks, plates, or tiles. And I sell a TON of Lime.
Out of all of those, Magenta is easily the worst seller for me, and Medium Lavender
and Bright Pink are also low, about the same level as Dark Pink, Medium Nougat,
and Trans-Orange. As to the OP, Lime sells far better than Orange. But IMO, Magenta
is the lowest seller.

  By all means keep my store in mind when you're looking for Dark Purple; I
have quite a bit of it at the moment.

I think I will keep your store in mind. It may be a couple of months, though
- I have two further projects to complete, but at least I already have vehicle
mudguards in Dark Purple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find the right
parts to build a Dark Purple and Black Ford Mustang convertible.

There used to be an all times most/least sold list. Does anyone know if this
still exists?

Cheers ...

I've used Medium Azure in a couple of my projects, and I plan to order parts
in Lime and maybe Dark Purple later this year. As for Medium Lavender and Magenta,
the only parts that I've ever used in those colors were the hair bows that
can be used with mini-doll and some minifigure hair pieces. I have absolutely
no use for Bright Pink in my projects, so I would say Bright Pink would be even
less popular than Orange or Lime... but that's just my opinion.

Oh, I'm not saying that no one buys these colors, just that in my experience
they don't sell well. I just got rid of some parts in the colors listed above
that had been languishing in my store for *checks notes* three years.

(Maybe part of the issue is that the parts that come in these colors are themselves
unpopular anyway!)

By all means keep my store in mind when you're looking for Dark Purple; I

  Out of those 2, Lime is probably the least used; overall, my guess would be magenta

Yes magenta too. Glad I don't have pounds of that color in my store.

Of those two? I sell lime at a 20:1 ratio to Orange. Typically the very small
stuff like 1x1 round tiles.

  Are they changing it back the way it was? Now every single MOC on Rebrickable
that calls for trans-black shows that nobody has it. I deal with several people
each week that will not buy a MOC if the seller does not have 100% of the parts.
If they have a new color or shade coming out why not call it "new trans-black"
or anything but to remove hundreds of parts from inventory makes no sense.
Who wants to buy a part with "old" in the name or brown when they are
looking for black.

The LEGO Group released a new color which they call "Trans-Black"

Unfortunately, BrickLink already has a color called "Trans-Black"

TLG refers to this color as "Trans-Brown"

To avoid confusion, the catalog people decided to adopt TLG's naming conventions

For the time being, Trans-Black has been renamed to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)"

The new color, when it is introduced, will be called "Trans-Black (2023)"

Eventually, the stuff in parentheses will be removed

It appears that TLG intends to eventually phase out Trans-Brown in favor of Trans-Black
