FYI -

Just came across a bunch of these parts in color coral:
 
Part No: 27507  Name: Tile, Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni Wide
* 
27507 Tile, Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni Wide
Parts: Tile, Round
It looks like there are two distinct shades. One exactly matches coral color
for this part we have:
 
Part No: 41740  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove
* 
41740 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove
Parts: Plate, Modified
The other one is lighter - less saturated. TLG calls the new color "vibrant coral".
The lighter shade could almost be called "regular coral". Or of course another
instance of bad quality control.

I can see if I can make a pic later.

Would love a pic It must just be a color variation. I had only seen the brighter
version.

Seeing as you are the resident color guru and definitely better at capturing
colors on photo - I can send you one of each if you like. Just PM me your address.

Coral: What an unfortunate name for a colour. If there's one thing in the
world that can have every colour imaginable... it's coral. But apparently
that's just me, because Google tells me it's a thing. I'd go for
salmon or something like that.

Barely a 4 months after the poor single colour coral was elevated by Pantone
to iconic status, you have to come along and put it in its place

Are you talking about the colour of the fresh flesh, the cooked flesh, or the
smoked flesh? At what time of the year the salmon was killed? What did the
salmon eat? Were there artificial colorants added? Or are you talking about
the colour of its scales? And are they the scales on the belly, the head, the
tail? And which of the 8 species of fish that we name “salmon”?

Don't start on lavender. I have about 15 different varieties in my garden,
and none of them match the colour of BL's lavender.

I'm still waiting on BL to address the different shades of black.
Black
Dark Black
Light Black
Dark Bluish Black
Light Bluish Black
Trans-Chrome Black
Whitish Black
The list goes on!

Don't forget "Priests' socks" black. All others are really very, very,
very very dark blue.

The way things are going, the color Coral will be indistinguishable from the
color White in the not so distant future.
