If you read the links I provided, you’ll see English ‘vermilion’ and French ‘vermillon’
have the same meaning, which is not a reddish orange but an orangish red.
That this meaning had been used to describe more colours (see again the reference
for “web vermilion,” with the use of the qualificative “web” to mark its deviation
from the main meaning), while still staying a ‘fancy’/rare word that no one uses
or really understands just adds reasons not to use it for this new LEGO colour.
Let’s sum this up:
— if you take the original meaning, it’s not the same colour,
— few know the word,
— its meaning has been expanded enough and transformed enough between languages
(one can read the wiktionary entries in other languages to see the different
colour swatches) to become at best vague, and at worst confusing.
Why would one want to use that word?

But Reddish Orange and Vibrant Orange are both good names for this particular
color, at least in my own personal opinion.
|
Exactly.

Nothing sounds more bricklinkish than naming colors in spite of Bigplasticorp
directives.
I still remember when someone tackled a new entry with a blunt "alien pee

Although, since the yellowish orange colors have been named "light orange"
on here, that implies darker colors should skew in the opposite direction of
red, and given that 402 is slightly darker and could fit in a gradient from orange
to dark orange, I also propose Medium Dark Orange (please no)

Anyway, I think this more of a language/description issue than a color issue.
Vermillion is a fancy English word for a bright reddish orange color similar
to the one shown above. Some shades are more reddish and some are more orangish,
but it's an apt description, at least in English, the Lingua Franca
of the internet. I understand that vermillon has a different meaning in Français.
However, the catalog administrators seem to shy away naming colors using fancy
and/or obscure English words. Dark Red could be described as burgundy or maroon
and Bright Red could be described as crimson or scarlet. One possible exception
is Nougat, if only to avoid the racial connotations of flesh, tan, and off-white.
But Reddish Orange and Vibrant Orange are both good names for this particular
color, at least in my own personal opinion.

No problem with me… except a persimmon is lighter than an orange. (Fun fact:

Please no. Stop taking words and giving them other definitions just for fun.
Colours are already complicated enough.
In French, and correctly (etymologically, not because I’m French ), vermillon
is rouge vif (bright red). It’s a red that tire vers l’orangé
(goes towards some oranged tint), not some kind of orange that goes towards red.
Colour patches in these entries:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vermilion
https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/vermillon
French Wiktionary shows the real pigment (HgS). Not the same colour as the LEGO
colour.
You can see the English entry has two patches: one closer to the French entry
and one more orange, called “web vermilion,” that could look like the new LEGO
colour.

and Pearl Light Gray parts
|
If I had to guess, i'd say it came from build a minifigure (BAM) in LEGO
stores. They sometimes produce unique colours not in sets and not picked up by
BL.

Oh I see you updated the number. The only thing I'm seeing are pirate sets
from 2004

Yes, my question is where this specific color (Pearl Dark Gray) came from as
it's not in the catalog at all. Perhaps it was an alternate possible color
in some sets and no one ever made note it?

The 2 swords in set are and Light Bluish Gray.
At least those were the colors ours came with.

Sure looks like modern Pearl Dark Gray, but I can’t find a unique production
number for this part in that color. How does it look next to other PDG parts?
|
Here it is next to several other PDG parts, as well as a few Dark Bluish Gray
and Pearl Light Gray parts

If they didn't come from sets, then where did you get the element IDs for
them?

The official parts database and LEGO Customer Service.
My problem with BL not recognizing this color is the considerable overlap with
other similar colors.

Long ago I suggested we need an official color board, something issued/sold by
TLG. Something that contains one 2x2 tile for each color, with the TLG color
number printed on it in one corner. Something we can turn to as an absolute reference
palette.
One baseplate (a 48x48 could handle 576 reference tiles), and a few bags of tiles
to be applied to the baseplate.

This was an intentional colour. LEGO's official colour number and name are
225 Warm Yellowish Orange.
