| I need some help identifying the color of the Bionicle mask on the right. It
is part #32573. It came in a large lot of used Bionicle parts, so I don't
know what set it came from originally. Supposedly, it only comes in Black, Blue,
Dark Gray, Light Gray, Lime, Medium Blue, Orange, Tan, Yellow, Copper, and Pearl
Light Gray.
As you can see, this is not any of those colors. I have photographed it with
a copper part next to it, so you can see that it is not copper. The closest
I can figure is that this is chrome pink, but there is nothing chrome about it.
It is more like a pearl dark pink color.
What color do you think it is?
I appreciate your help.
Stan.

The set in which this part appears (bilmasks-1) was released in 2001, while the
Exo-Force robots were first released in 2006. Colours (particularly Pearl-type)
tend to change somewhat over time, and the description for set (bilmasks-1) specifies
that the colour is dark Copper:

| | So, I should list it as copper that has darkened over time? |

When I said "over time", I meant that LEGO periodically changes their colours
slightly, not that the part has discoloured. (One example of colour-change-over-time
is Pearl Gold, with older elements tending to be lighter and newer ones tending
to be darker - But all variations still considered "Pearl Gold").
This part is Copper, but 2001 Copper is darker than 2019 (or 2006) Copper.

I think I've expressed this before, but it's worth repeating: Impressive
catalog command!

This mask is actually a LEGO color known as "Red Flip/Flop" and was only used
for the two Bionicle masks shown in
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15123159082/
The LEGO color "Red Flip/Flop" does not have a specific color on BrickLink and
is lumped under "Copper" since there is no other color close to it.
Cheers,
Randy

Correct.
BrickLink's copper combines several different copper-like colors.
It combines LEGO colors 139 Copper, 189 Reddish Gold, 176 Red Flip/Flop (for
Bionicle mask 32573 and 32572), 178 Yellow Flip/Flop (for Bionicle Kanohi mask),
346 Copper Metallic, 300 Copper, Drum Lacquered matte copper surface coating,
334 Copper ink (another surface coating).
