Hope this post is in the right place.
It's bugged me a while now that the Bionicle eye stalk piece that is included
in 8534, 8540 and 8572 is listed as trans dark pink despite the face that it's
more of a neon red-magenta color. As far as I know there are no other pieces
in this color, so I understand that it would probably be a waste of time to create
a new color just for one piece, but it may cause confusion for some that the
listed color is not actually the color in which the piece comes.

Not really.  I moved it to the Colors topics

Just sold one of those, looks nothing like its colour classification.

I have another which has been mentioned here before.

x1180 looks nothing like 4740 in the same colour, trans neon Orange.

[p=x1190,18]

 
Part No: 4740  Name: Dish 2 x 2 Inverted (Radar)

This is LEGO color 158 Transparent Fluorescent Red:

It does not have a corresponding color on BrickLink because it was only used
for this one part in any mainstream sets.

If we were to add a color for this to BrickLink, I think Trans-Neon Red would
probably be a good name. Maybe we can make this happen.

Cheers,
Randy
