| Bricklink is missing lots of colors, and says that parts produced in that colors
have some different ones. Also, Trans-Medium Blue is treated as non-neon color,
which is big mistake. Trans-Medium Blue IS Neon color, and I want such issues
to be fixed

I believe that "Neon" colours are specifically ones that glow under a blacklight
(Trans-Neon Orange, Trans-Neon Green, etc), and I am not sure that Trans-Medium
Blue does - If you have a picture/video of these parts glowing, I think that
your request will be given more serious consideration.

I have a bunch of trans blue cheese slopes and the Trans-Medium-Blue ones definitely
react differently under the blacklight.

Interesting. 🤔
Can you take some pictures of the Trans-Medium Blue parts next to Trans-Light
Blue, Trans-Blue, Trans-Neon Orange, Trans-Orange, Trans-Neon Green, and Trans-Yellow
pieces? I want to compare the effect that Trans-Medium Blue has against known
Neon colours and their non-Neon counterparts.

I did not realise that - Why do we call it "Trans-Medium Blue" instead of "Trans-Neon
Blue", then? The latter is not taken, and it is more accurate.

Because BL is having bad time with recognizing colors. "Trans-Neon Blue" is how
even Lego called it (actually it was Trans. Fluorescent Blue, but Lego usés different
words for same things).

I am quite sure it is the same reason that other color names are different: BrickLink
and adult fans did not know the official names of LEGO colors in the past when
they were being named for use on commerce websites. If you look at Trans-Medium
Blue in normal daylight, it looks nothing like a "neon" color, whereas Trans-Neon
Green and Trans-Neon Orange definitely look like "neon" colors. The naming had
nothing to do with whether they fluoresced under a UV light.

I was mostly wondering why did LEGO bother with making bricks with such property

Neon colours predate LEGO's first action figures, with Trans-Neon Green and
Trans-Neon Orange first appearing in 1980's/1990's Space themes (M;Tron
and Ice Planet, respectively (IIRC)).

I am not sure if the glowing effect was intended, or simply a side-property
of the colours' formulae.

Trans-Medium Blue does fluoresce, as has been demonstrated here. But I'm
not sure the intention of putting "Neon" in a color name was originally intended
to mean "Fluorescent". Those color names were made long before LEGO was telling
us color names and I'm not sure LEGO has ever marketed the fluorescent nature
of those colors. I think Trans-Neon Green and Trans-Neon Orange may have been
named such because of how they look in regular light. In normal light Trans-Medium
Blue does not remind people of a neon sign.
I'll be fine if that color name changes, but I'm not sure of the value
of it. I think a lot of people would be confused by it and it might make the
color harder for people without black lights and without knowledge of fluorescent
LEGO to recognize the color.
If it is really important for Bricklink to recognize every color that LEGO has
ever used (I'm not sure), there are a couple funny complications in Clikits.
There are two different Trans-Neon Yellow colors that glow dull and glow bright
under black light and there is a color that looks like a match for Trans-Medium
Blue that does not glow at all.

I think Lego *did* market the fluorescent nature of trans-neon green at the very
least -- look at any M-tron box and you'll see the trans-neon green elements
glowing. They didn't quite play it up as much with Blacktron II, which uses
the same color.

It is definitely fluorescing in the picture, but to kids and moms and dads if
they even stop to think about it, it just seems to be emphasizing the neon-y
color. Having a black light at home is unusual. Kids do not usually have them
as a part of their play. If you want people to get one and use it with their
LEGO, the package needs to say, "Yellow parts GLOW under BLACK LIGHT!"

This seems to be more the 1980's equivalent of rendered backdrops and details,
not specifically marketing a feature of the set.

I believe that "Neon" colours are specifically ones that glow under a blacklight
(Trans-Neon Orange, Trans-Neon Green, etc), and I am not sure that Trans-Medium
Blue does - If you have a picture/video of these parts glowing, I think that
your request will be given more serious consideration.

Trans-Medium Blue does fluoresce, as has been demonstrated here. But I'm
not sure the intention of putting "Neon" in a color name was originally intended
to mean "Fluorescent". Those color names were made long before LEGO was telling
us color names and I'm not sure LEGO has ever marketed the fluorescent nature
of those colors. I think Trans-Neon Green and Trans-Neon Orange may have been
named such because of how they look in regular light. In normal light Trans-Medium
Blue does not remind people of a neon sign.
I'll be fine if that color name changes, but I'm not sure of the value
of it. I think a lot of people would be confused by it and it might make the
color harder for people without black lights and without knowledge of fluorescent
LEGO to recognize the color.
If it is really important for Bricklink to recognize every color that LEGO has
ever used (I'm not sure), there are a couple funny complications in Clikits.
There are two different Trans-Neon Yellow colors that glow dull and glow bright
under black light and there is a color that looks like a match for Trans-Medium
Blue that does not glow at all.

Example of thing that can be important:
There are actually 2 Pearl Dark Gray colors - one is late and called "Titanium
Metallic". They are greatly different, and, as far as I remember, have overlapping
parts (old is before 2010 and new is after)
Another one is Flat Silver, being two different colors (new Flat Silver, Lego
calls it Silver Metallic), they have overlapping parts but treated as same one.
New "Flat Silver" is darker than old one

This is all under #2 on our catalog roadmap:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476
I had a number of new colors added to the catalog in the last 1-2 years to fix
problems, and I plan on continuing that work this year. The Pearl Light Gray/Flat
Silver and Pearl Dark Gray issues are much larger and are going to take some
time and planning. My next goal is to separate out the two colors that are lumped
into Trans-Purple (the shade used in Clikits is very different from the modern
Trans-Purple).
Cheers,
Randy

Well, with that kind of immature attitude, don't expect the people who can
make happen what you want to happen actually want to help you. Just saying, bruh.

Agreed, bruh.
In seriousness, I do want to see these changes made at some point, but
they are definitely lower on my list of priorities when compared to standardising
figure titles or sorting out bar/connector/hilt elements, for example.

Making substantive improvements to the Catalog is, like, super hard, bruh. We
need to ensure that the changes that we make are, like, not going to require
additional changes and/or reversions in the future. Moreover, the number
of items in the Catalog, is like, allot - There are over 10,000 Minifigures alone,
so, you know, it takes time, bruh. Seriously, bruh, chilax. Bruh.

No need to drive the sarcasm so hard. What the non-native english speaking new
