I am not sure if this is intentional or a color error at the manufacturing plant,
but these bricks are lighter than the standard light blue gray.
This brick sells for $5 a piece for some reason in the color very light blue
gray. The current set inventory on here does not reflect the lighter color.

It's just a slight color variation within light gray. Very light bluish gray
is almost white; from the picture those do not look to be that color at all.

You should compare this brick with a very light bluish gray part like one of
the Knights Kingdom shields.
This part isn’t meant to be very light bluish gray, it might be a color issue
like less color in the mix.
LBG, reddish brown and also other parts have quite some color variations.
So before calling it rare be sure it is.
Rare seems to be a very much abused words nowadays, maybe in this case it isn’t
but you need to be sure.

I agree that it was probably a wrong batch of color mixing, but I would still
call this a quality issue - just a different kind of quality issue than the "normal"
color variation.
Btw. here is one more discussion about that:

Looks like about one year ago TLG was aware of the issue and added replacement

I've noticed this as well. There appears to be a shade between Light Bluish
Gray and the old Light Gray. It's clearly an "Off Color Gray" as I call
them, and know they are meant to be Light Bluish Gray because for some parts,
that's the only gray it was ever produced in. Sometimes I have a REALLY
hard time deciphering if a part is actually Light Gray or LBG. In that case,
I don't bother listing them for sale because they don't meet my personal
level of sale quality.

Here is a similar case with 1x1 bricks in "too light bluish gray": https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=264511&nID=1183633
It is obviously a quality issue.

and the light bright blue window only appears in that set. There were no older
regular light gray pieces in the lot.

If they were in a large loose box are you sure they came from 41154? Were there
any older (light gray) pieces in the box? The previous owner may have been playing
and took it apart and put it back together with some older bricks.
However, the fact that it is only certain elements (and all of those elements)
leads me to believe it was a bad batch produced this way by LEGO. Since it is
a recent set I wouldn't expect any fading or discoloration this quickly.

| You can find early bricks without Lego logo on the studs but not often seen these
days, most have slots but not all.
The long side fill gate was used on a few odd moulds, usually test moulds I believe.
I have seen clone brands with the colour shown by OP.

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of
the part is another sure sign that this is not LEGO.

Is that a sprue mark (pip) on the long side of that brick? AFAIK a Lego brick
would have one on the short side (old) or on the top (newer)

Good catch. The pip is misplaced and unesthetical, Lego won't do that.
We also know that non-Lego can't even clone a color right.

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

i am not a 100% sure it has lego logo's but the underside is smoother and
maybe thicker than other lego 1x4 bricks so may be it is a fake but very good

| 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 am asking if we can get a list of known colors added to the minifig display
case #752453.
I can confirm that the following colors have been produced:

The following colors *may* have been produced, there is some circumstantial evidence,
but I can't confirm yet:
lime green
dark azure
pearl gold
Thanks for your help.

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.

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

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.
