| What is the difference between medium blue and sand blue ?
Is there a light blue somewhere in between those two?

Those are all between them ON THAT CHART, but I would only say Maersk Blue is
actually between the colors.

Yeah, sorting something that has at least two dimensions isn’t easy

| This might help to compare, I always find it useful to keep stacks of colour
bricks

Be aware that the 'Brittle Blue' isn't an official LEGO or BrickLink
colour, but is a colour that has been noticed to have occured in the turn of
the century 2000-2003, and the composition of the plastic that this blue is in
is actually more 'Brittle' than the normal plastic, hence the name.
I have actually seen this colour across quite a few elements, including the 2x4
brick.
Earlier this year I was searching for this colour in a 2x4 for my palette, and
had to buy one from an European Seller, and when it arrived, I was so chuffed....
BUT....
Last week, I found one in a Bulk Lot of LEGO that I'd bought in February,
so I could have saved myself some money.... !
Ah well....

I have been finding lots of this blue when sorting, and throwing them away! And
considering I spent quite a lot of time on my colour chart and the 2x4 collection
I’m surpised I never saw it mentioned before!
