hello.
Here is a suggestion-
I think it would be most helpful if someone could sell a super lot color sample
of a 2 x 2 brick of each color. i would like to create a reference color charts
for personal use in my small store, i would glue, ( I know, Horrible) them to
a mat and label them, so I could quickly glance at them while listing parts.
has anyone seen such a combo listed? if not I think it would be a good seller
to those who do have bricks in most of the colors.one? I dont have the same brick
in every color, to buy them from several stores could be cost prohibitive because
of shipping..

lots new stores on bricklink would want to buy one as the color shade issue
can be daunting...
so what do you think?

There is nothing to stop you selling a custom lot of anything, although I don't
think you can glue them as that is then modified. Just sell the lot as a collection
of parts.

Personally I use 1x2 plates for this, and still collecting the 2x4s.

I ended up buying one from Nathan123 (one of the people in the thread). It is
fantastic, saves a TON of time.

My desire is for TLG to sell us a limited run of a color board. It would
be a sufficiently large baseplate, to hold one 2x2 tile in every possible color.
On the surface of the tiles would be printed the TLG color number.

But then that would be the current palette (adios old greys & alii).
