now comes in reddish brown and has an element id of 6342958, how does one get
this added to the database? I've added it multiple times to my inventory,
but it will still not show up as available in that color (e.g. the drop down
menu does not list it in reddish brown.)
I've also found other parts that do not have current element id and would
like to get them added as well. Please direct me to where to submit this info.
Also, how does one submit a photo for a new color?

Did you add it just today? To my knowledge, those menus populate during the daily
maintenence.

Submit new IDs in the Add or Change tab. Change Item: - Part
Items show up automatically when they are listed in the inventory for a set.
What set are these parts from?

Add or Change tab. Add Image: - Part.
I believe it is preferred that images are only listed for parts in known colors.
There are lots of Help pages for our Catalog:

IDK, got them in bulk from Lego
| |

Done. Since this is a new known color now as the large image in my original post
is from lego.com
Thank you Jen!

Note that the term "known color" does not mean it is known to exist. Rather,
"known color" means it is in at least one set inventory on BL. So long as there
are no inventories published on BL with that part in reddish brown, it will not
show up under "known color".

Thanks for following up with this! I didn't explain that very well in my
first post.

This terminology should be changed. "Known color" is just not describing what
it signifies. Something like "exists in BL inventories" would be much closer
to the intended meaning.

Why not “inventoried colour?”
That’s a bit of a stretch on the meaning of “inventoried” but, in context, I
think it’s understandable, no?
Or “in-inventory colour?”

I read it as BL "Known Color", as we are on BL. I agree a new name would be
better for new users, but there are a lot of places on BL the could use improvement
that are probably of a higher value than this.
It does show up now in the drop down and lots for sale info. Although it still
is not easy to find in the macro tag tool since the "Colors with Images" tab
is not sorted. And the "Known colors" is just the Bricklink known colors from
set inventories.
We'll get there folks, it is just going to take a while.
