| 27 Rust on BL consists of parts that are both LEGO's 13 Red Orange and just
regular low-quality red parts.
The Duplo cows that are Dark Orange are most definitely not Dark Orange. Dark
Orange was introduced around 1994-95, not 1979, which reflects Red Orange's
release date as Fabuland heads. Despite the fact that this color is a bit of
a mess, BL Rust should be given to 13 Red Orange, and all Dark Orange Duplo Cows
(parts 4010pb01 and 4010px1) should be moved to Rust, along with all non-cow
"Rust" parts moved to "Red", perhaps with notes about color variation? I cannot
request this change from their catalog entry pages, so I'm doing it here.
No cow I've purchased under the "Dark Orange" color has ever turned out to
be said color, and sellers describe it as more of a "Rust" anyway, which is consistent
with the other "Rust" cows. Furthermore, BL entry photos of these cows, especially
in the case of 4010px1 show that those cows are far from being Dark Orange, and
are certainly Red Orange.
Official LEGO inventory data shows that non-cow "Rust" parts are 21 Bright Red/5
Red. No color exists that directly corresponds to 27 Rust. All inventories containing
"Rust" as an alternate to "Red" should be edited to remove the alternate "Rust"
parts, as official inventory data and information available about LEGO color
IDs show that there is no color that corresponds to BL Rust, similar to how Brittle
Blue is just a variant of Blue.
Changing all Duplo cows (4010pb01 and 4010px1) would help clean up Rust a bit
more, while also helping Dark Orange be a little more accurate in terms of a
release date. 13 Red Orange is one of those colors that doesn't exactly have
its own BL color, but making BL Rust correspond to LEGO Red Orange would help
solve that problem. Years of usage would be 1979-1997 after moving all non-cow
"Rust" parts to "Red" and moving all "Dark Orange" cows to "Rust".
This is 4010px1. Bricklink lists this color as only coming in Dark Orange, which
this obviously is not. Someone added a photo of the cow under the "Rust" color.

No. 4873 and 3647 are normal Red, but some parts come in a slightly different
variant. This variant was so distinct from Red that Bricklink gave it its own
ID, but this was before it was known that it wasn’t a different color. The Duplo
cow is an entirely different color that Bricklink doesn’t officially recognize.
Anything that’s “Rust” that isn’t a Duplo cow or a Fabuland head is just that
weird variant of Red. It’s a variant in the way that Brittle Blue is blue, but
still looks different. TLG 13 Red Orange (duplo cows and fabuland head) is grouped
under BL Rust with the other weird Red parts.
