Part ScalaShowerStan is shown as having come in three colors. Salmon and Yellow
seem to be correct, but this part did not appear in ‘Light Purple’, as the color
was not introduced until 2003/4 as LEGO’s ‘Bright Reddish Lilac’. The part most
likely appeared as old Dark Pink (LEGO’s Medium Reddish Violet), but Bricklink
does not separate old and new Dark Pink, and given the plastic used, the color
seems darker than on different parts of the same color. Changing this would accurately
reflect Light Purple’s’ official release year.

On a side note: Clikits038u is shown as being “Trans-Green”, but LEGO’s replacement
part site displays the color as being “Trans-Light Green”. The item is marked
for deletion, so perhaps the appropriate change would be to make the part clikits038b?

I agree.

Just like yesterday, the catalog image has been shifted to the correct color.
I have submitted a change request for the set that contained this part, so the
inventory should reflect the correct color very shortly. After maintenance tonight,
all of the items for sale, price guide data, and wanted list items will be shifted
to the correct color.

For sure, I would 100% bet you are right on this. Although these are undetermined
parts and will need to be proved to be shifted to the correct variant, I have
submitted the change requests to shift the color.
