Hi,

So I'd like someone to have a look at this and see if I am going mad please.
Have a look at the first picture without looking at the second you will see both
parts stuck together look identical in colour. Both are brown. Now look at the
second picture the same part Plate 1x1 with the design on that side of it is
listed only as reddish brown and never as brown. Should this not be listed as
brown?

Kind regards

Barry

Ok so to answer both questions here is another image of a Reddish Brown Tile
on the brown 1x4 Plate with the 1x1 plate underneath.

Are you trying to tell the the difference between dark red and reddish brown,
or brown (the older colour) and reddish brown?

With this picture it is safe to say that it is dark red. The mudguard you added
isn't available in Reddish Brown. Only 1 seller sells them (and that's
you )

So yes, you have to do some inventory adjustments

The 2x2 tile looks like dark red to me and the plates reddish brown when next
to it.

Do you actually have any old brown bricks/plates to put the "others"?

TBF the plates do look brown in the first two photos. But lighting and images
can make something look very different.

Ok so you guys have more experience of this than me so I'm going to take
your word that the tile is dark red. My issue then is what does Dark red look
like to Reddish Brown and what does reddish brown look like to Brown. All the
parts I sell are used parts so its likely a lot of brown could exist so going
on that basis I was assuming everything with a reddish tint was reddish brown
and I don't have any dark red, if I'm incorrect on this then I have a
major inventory reshuffle to do.

For example, this image is of an older brick 1x8, which I was calling brown,
does anyone see a difference in that brick to the 2 plates on top of it?

Thank you @Brickwilbo, i was aware of the Colour Guides but the thumbnails do
make it look a bit better. What I lost on now is this image as if you guys tell
me this is Reddish Brown (even though its an old enough brick) then that would
mean everything I'm calling brown is reddish brown and everything i'm
calling Reddish brown is Dark red. Is there a way to find out what parts where
and where not manufactured for definitely in different colours? I know just looking
at what is available on Bricklink is not that reliable.

Have a look at the first picture without looking at the second you will see both
parts stuck together look identical in colour. Both are brown. Now look at the
second picture the same part Plate 1x1 with the design on that side of it is
listed only as reddish brown and never as brown. Should this not be listed as
brown?

Kind regards

The 2x2 tile looks like dark red to me and the plates reddish brown when next
to it.

Do you actually have any old brown bricks/plates to put the "others"?

TBF the plates do look brown in the first two photos. But lighting and images
can make something look very different.


Tile looks dark red to me.

no offense, but it sounds like you may have some colorblindness issues that you
are not aware of. Red/green blindness is very common especially in men


The dark red tile is nothing like brown. At all. The only thing that can explain
this is your eyes.

Something I think most 'married' men are already aware of, that women
see red more easily than men

Oh! And the crowd goes wild!

I think you answered your own question when you said the 1x1 plate was listed
only as reddish brown.

What I would do is ask on the forum which sellers are experts in colors,
Than order 1 of each color in 2 x 4 bricks . Than make a color chárt on a large
Baseplate and label each color Next to it's brick. If the seller is
Really helpful they will put each brick in it's own little Baggie
And write the color on it.Sometimes you have to go out in the sunlight to really
See the difference.
