| Why are we still talking about this, there are many videos on YouTube discussing
the colour grey.(I recommend watching R.R. Slugger he knows just about all there
is to know about old Lego colours and sets)
Please time to move on and try to forget the poor decisions that Lego made.(like
retiring trans neon green)

It isn't even because it was a long time back. The price of light gray spiked
FAST. People have gotten used to LBG, maybe because they had to, but a year
after the switch light gray was rare and expensive. I think the custom builders
didn't want to make the switch.

I had always believed 100% the change was made to save money. That was something

Agreed. Many recent colors are awfully similar to older colors. Hell, some of

If the picture accurately represents the color then it has a HEX value of #FF5100
International Orange (#FF4F00) is the closest recognized color.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_orange)
If you want to use the Official Register of Color Names, it fits closest to:

Not really.
Languages evolve by transforming their own words and borrowing (they don’t always
steal: they do sometimes give them back ) words from other languages to add
meanings, often to better describe what their locutors wanted and needed to describe,
or to replace words (the borrowed word replaces an older word… but that older
word also sometimes resurfaces with a slightly different meaning).
English evolved from a Germanic language, borrowed very little from Celtic languages,
borrowed a lot from Latin, a bit from Greek, then a lot from Norman French, then
a lot from all over the place. All that while it still created new words (compounding
them, deriving them…).
You can find the same Proto-Indo-European word (or rather root) three or four
times in English. For instance:
— from the Germanic: knowledge (akin to keen, uncouth, can…),
— from Greek: gnosis (and derivatives, prognosis, diagnosis…),
— from Latin: cognition (akin to ignorant, notice, noble…),
(— from French: connoisseur and maybe others closer to ‘knwoledge’ that I’m not
seeing right now).
Three different words, three similar but different meanings, same Proto-Indo-European
root: ǵneh₃.
But that’s not what I was bemoaning.
Here, I was talking of taking a lot of words, like vermilion, carmine, crimsom,
burgundy, scarlet, gules, etc., and saying: Well, they all mean red. Any red.
You can use them indiscriminately from dark red to light red, from orange to
purple. (And let’s randomly pick one for this new LEGO colour.)
No, those words each describe some kind of red, not any reddish
colour.
No language evolves by hoarding a dozen (or more) words and making them all synonyms
with a vague meaning.
And when you need to describe something precisely, like a colour in a catalogue,
you don’t pick one word at random. You compare all the possible words and look
at their usages… usages which are compiled in dictionaries
Or you create a phrase with more common and more comprehensible words

The British Invasion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Invasion
In all seriousness, I don't know the answer to that question since that was
a bit before my time. It could very well have been because of the popularity
of British musical artists in America during the 1960s and the desire to be perceived
as speaking "English" instead of "American".
It could also have been a simple acknowledgement of the fact that, nearly two
centuries after the Declaration of Independence was signed, British and American
English were still, for the most part, mutually intelligible.
Or, like most of my forum posts, the whole thing could have been a joke.

I mean, this is basically how languages have evolved for thousands of years.
The only difference now is the instantaneous communication and access to knowledge
that is the internet. The meanings of words change and shift, often with the
"original" meaning being entirely lost to time. They are defined by how
you use them -- what you intend to refer to, and what your audience interprets
it as -- not by their etymology. Dictionaries are documentation of how language
is used, not outlines of how language should be used.

That's just what Americans do: steal things from other countries and blend

I think the English language (at least American English) is far less refined
than you give it credit for, at least when it comes to distinguishing between
similar colors.
In my eyes, there's little difference between reddish orange and orangish
red, except perhaps for the fact that reddish orange is a bit more orange than
it is red and orangish red is a bit more red than it is orange, but that's
subjective and depends on the eye of the viewer. Both can be described as vermilion.
Wikipedia, and, by extension, Wiktionary, are generally written from a British
English perspective, so perhaps the word vermilion is used differently in British
English than in American English, but that would also be a good reason to use
it in the British sense here on BrickLink.
To me, Vermilion is the name of two separate but adjacent counties, one in the
U.S. state of Illinois, and another just across the border in Indiana:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_County,_Illinois
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermillion_County,_Indiana
It's also the name of two separate rivers in the same area:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_River_(Illinois_River_tributary)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_River_(Wabash_River_tributary)
Apparently, the early settlers got confused and thought the two rivers were one,
giving them the same name.
Maybe Vermilion is just an inherently confusing word? I don't even know whether
to spell it with one L or two.
| | 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),
|
Then perhaps we should call the new color Web Vermilion? The sample on Wiktionary
looks pretty similar to the color of the parts in the picture Rylie posted.
Having only seen the new color in digital images but never in person, I'm
not in the best position to name it. I'll leave this one to the catalog people.
| | 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.
|
Amen.
| | 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?
|
To create even more confusion?

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.

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.

are two other sellers with one listed in dark tan.

Possibly from a newly released Lego set that hasn't been inventoried yet?
|
Not a new set as I have had them 3 or 4 years+

How would you get a hold of that without being a LEGO employee?

It is fairly easy to get ahold of Customer Service. They have a published phone
number.
|
Yes of course, but if you call them and ask for element IDs of parts that have
never been in sets, I imagine you're not going to get very far before the
person on the other end starts wondering why on earth you'd want that information.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen, it just sounds very odd.
David
|
This information can be found on other websites. Some CS reps will direct you
to BrickLink, while others will dig through the database for info.
|
Some are available on Bricks & Pieces if you know how to dig through that, others
were viewable through older versions of Customer Service, though are now inaccessible
through the public view. LDD also has some in it, with questionable accuracy.

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 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.

That sounds plausible, I forgot all about BAM.

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.

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.
