| Hello everyone,
Apologies for the canceled post about colors the other day. We got our wires
crossed behind the scenes and in the effort to get a new color ready for use,
there was some miscommunication.
We have released a new color, Neon Yellow. The official LEGO name is Vibrant
Yellow (368):

There has been much discussion recently around the subject of color, specifically
how official LEGO color names relate to BrickLink color names. To explain a little
of why and how these differences happen, here are some examples of new colors
entering the marketplace:
2011/2012 releases:
- LEGO "Dark Azur" was added as BrickLink "Dark Azure" (name adjusted for English
language spelling)
- LEGO "Medium Azur" was added as BrickLink "Medium Azure" (name adjusted for
English language spelling)
- LEGO "Aqua" was added as BrickLink "Light Aqua" (named adjusted because BrickLink
already had an "Aqua" and this was lighter than that color)
- LEGO "Medium Lavender" was added as BrickLink "Medium Lavender" (no change)
- LEGO "Lavender" was added as BrickLink "Lavender" (no change)
- LEGO "Spring Yellowish Green" was added as BrickLink "Yellowish Green" ("Spring"
was removed for simplicity)
- LEGO "Olive Green" was added as BrickLink "Olive Green" (no change)
2019 release:
- LEGO "Vibrant Coral" was added as BrickLink "Coral"
In 2020, the "Opal" series of colors started to be released. These were called
"Satin" colors on BrickLink. 2020 also saw the replacement of the keyword "Flesh"
with "Nougat".
2022 release:
- LEGO "Vibrant Yellow" was added as BrickLink "Neon Yellow"
*************************************
General principles for naming new BrickLink colors:
1. When possible, the official LEGO color name is adopted as the BrickLink color
name.
2. Spellings are changed to BrickLink conventions, i.e. American English.
3. Extra keywords are removed (e.g. there is no need for a modifier in front
of "Coral").
4. Care is taken to relate the new color name to other BrickLink names of similar
colors.
5. Non color-specific adjectives are replaced with more concrete terms, i.e.
Stone = Bluish
6. Everyday color names often replace more exotic names: Medium Lilac = Dark
Purple.

Year of Release is tied to what inventories a part appears in. The vented stud
is listed as an alternate in a set that has been in production since 2013. The
data is not an indication of actual LEGO production.

I think that gets filled in automatically when a minifigure becomes part of a
set's inventory.

Items in the catalog get the year automatically from the inventores they are
in.
Once this one is added to the set it comes from it will show up.
