Set 7600 on Bricklink lists the Bionicle Zamor Sphere as being Flat Dark Gold,
but that color was more than likely retired by 2007, and LEGO has the sphere
as their "Warm Gold" which translates to "Pearl Gold" on Bricklink. This should
be changed to accurately reflect LEGO's database information.

Sets 3615 and 9131 have the same issue. Part 3437 is listed as being "Pearl Gold",
but the color was not around in 2002, and LEGO has it listed as "Sand Yellow
Metallic" which translates to Bricklink's "Flat Dark Gold".

Part 44715 is listed as "Dark Tan", but the available photo shows the part as
having a metallic look to it, and the two sellers have listed it as "Flat Dark
Gold", which seems more accurate given the photo and the photo for the part in
"Flat Dark Gold".

Part 44716 should also be looked at. It is listed as "Pearl Gold", but the color
was not around in 2003 either, as its ID 297 has it being released around 2005.
The part looks more like 139 Copper, whose ID would match a 2003 release date,
but that's not certain. However, it could also be LEGO's 189 Reddish
Gold, which Bricklink does not have a separate color for, as most pearly golds
were just thrown under 84 Copper. This presents the separate issue of adding
new colors to the Bricklink database.

Lastly, part 48647 has multiple iterations in terms of color, but the one listed
for set 4777 has it as Pearl Gold. The photo looks more like "Flat Dark Gold",
which also makes more sense, given that Flat Dark Gold was around in 2004, and
Pearl Gold more than likely wasn't. This is more difficult to work with,
as it could be split into two different colors, with future iterations of the
part being Pearl Gold, and the 2004 version being "Flat Dark Gold". Sellers with
the older part would have to manually change their listing. Lego's database
has the part listed as "Warm Gold", but they do not take different production
runs of sets into account when listing colors, as they probably only account
for the most recent one, which in this set's case, would've been a 2005
run, probably around the time 297 Warm Gold replaced all the previous golds.

Part 42026 is also Flat Dark Gold.

This has been fixed. All Zamor spheres included in sets are now Pearl Gold.

This has been fixed. The Pearl Gold parts in both of those sets have been changed
to Flat Dark Gold.

If I had seen this when it was first posted, I would already have 9131 at home.

Do you have a reference comparison for flat dark gold and pearl gold? I just
opened 8779 and I would have called one of the swords pearl gold without another
thought, but I am assuming it is flat dark gold. I don’t have a reference for
that.

Sorry for the late reply! I can provide a reference for Flat Dark Gold and Pearl
Gold, but I believe that the “Copper” sword in that set may be 189 Reddish Gold,
which does not have a corresponding color here.
Flat Dark Gold is an alternate in that set, and the Pearl Gold you’re referring
to may be 189. If said part is closer to Pearl Gold than Flat Dark Gold, then
it is probably 189 Reddish Gold, which I unfortunately do not have.

Pearl Gold is plates.
Flat Dark Gold is sword.

Maybe you should ask them if they have a reference comparison for flat dark gold
and pearl gold.

  Part 44716 should also be looked at. It is listed as "Pearl Gold", but the color
was not around in 2003 either, as its ID 297 has it being released around 2005.
The part looks more like 139 Copper, whose ID would match a 2003 release date,
but that's not certain. However, it could also be LEGO's 189 Reddish
Gold, which Bricklink does not have a separate color for, as most pearly golds
were just thrown under 84 Copper. This presents the separate issue of adding
new colors to the Bricklink database.


I am attempting to get LEGO color 189 Reddish Gold added to the BrickLink catalog
as Reddish Gold to solve this issue. I will keep you updated.

If it happens, all three gold colors that were the precursors of LEGO Warm Gold
(BrickLink Pearl Gold) will be recognized by BrickLink (Light Pearl Gold, Flat
Dark Gold, and Reddish Gold).

Amazing! This would be the first step toward cleaning up the mess that is 84
Copper and the five different colors it includes. 189 Reddish Gold makes up a
good chunk of this mess, along with the recently retired 346 Copper Metallic
and 300 Copper, Drum Lacquered. Then again, the Pearl section on BL is probably
the most incomplete among color types, mostly due to the missing Pearly Bionicle
colors, which come in the same parts as BL’s Pearl White.

Reddish Gold was added as a color to BrickLink to solve this issue, and the part
has been transferred to the new color.

  Lastly, part 48647 has multiple iterations in terms of color, but the one listed
for set 4777 has it as Pearl Gold. The photo looks more like "Flat Dark Gold",
which also makes more sense, given that Flat Dark Gold was around in 2004, and
Pearl Gold more than likely wasn't. This is more difficult to work with,
as it could be split into two different colors, with future iterations of the
part being Pearl Gold, and the 2004 version being "Flat Dark Gold". Sellers with
the older part would have to manually change their listing. Lego's database
has the part listed as "Warm Gold", but they do not take different production
runs of sets into account when listing colors, as they probably only account
for the most recent one, which in this set's case, would've been a 2005
run, probably around the time 297 Warm Gold replaced all the previous golds.


Any changes to part 48647 in set inventories will require evidence, so there
is nothing I can do about this for now.

Since all of the issues in the OP have been dealt with to the best of our abilities,
I consider this list of requests complete.

Cheers,
Randy

I found this photo of part 48647 in a listing for set 4777. What do you think?
Its element ID 4249934 places it as being registered around the end of 2004,
consistent with the runtime of this set and the set's item ID: https://brickset.com/sets/4777-1/Knights-Castle
