Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - TBS (7164)

[...] Would that move the giant modulex gap out of my color chart? Does Lego use every number sequentially?

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - TBS (7164)

[...] Yes, they will have to learn. They gotta learn how BL works as well. No Problem here? The Point is, while you wan´t to make it super-easy, my approach is to make it sillyproof. [...]

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - TBS (7164)

[...] I agree on this one. Renaming that into "OLD+Colour Name" makes sense, and discerns the differnce between the colours even more. You have buyers which are to new to be [...]

lower the NPB timeframe - Sowhatbricks2.0 (2527)

Can we lower the NPB time from 7 days to 2 days? Giving buyers almost 2 weeks before a NPB ticket is completed is to long. If they don't respond to Bricklink invoices, [...]

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - maxx3001 (2564)

[...] We can start by calling light gray and dark grey as old light grey and old dark grey. Then over 6 months drop the bluish from the new greys and we are done. Easy, Maxx

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - misbi (8769)

[...] At the very least, it would be helpful if BL and TLG names didn't directly contradict each other. Specifically: Dark Green Let's start with that one!

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - garbanzo (322)

[...] You're getting into a real gray area when you start talking color names. Lots of opinion involved. Personally, I think "light black" is a good option.

Re: Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey? - Teup (6600)

And this is exactly why I think we should add "old" or "classic" in front or the non-reddish/bluish ones as fast as possible. Then we can always decide later on (when it [...]
