| Maybe I missed it, but with the new Medium Brown coming out (Hogwarts Magical
Trunk is for sale today), I wanted to see if there would be another discussion,
like there was with Neon Yellow.
It strikes me as similar to BL Medium Brown, so I could certainly see "New Medium
Brown". Also I made a swatch based on similar colors. I'd really like to
see what everyone thinks, but honestly one of the key reasons I'm bringing
it up is that I *do not* want to see both colors covered by one BL name.

A new shade of medium brown could be called "New Medium Brown," but I
don't think any colors should have "New" in their name because eventually
the color is no longer new.
Maybe Light Brown?

Personally, I vote for "London Clay" or "Morning Coffee". Or better yet, "London
Coffee".
Just my 2¢

| Coffee Brown seems somewhat accurate, but I'm not so sure about the name.
I think Umber Brown would make a great name, but that color name is all over
the place. There are some reddish versions closer in color to the new Medium
Brown...

You joke, but "medium reddish brown" would kind of make sense if it is a lighter
version of Reddish Brown.

If we go with the Lavender standard, it would also work if it's darker version
of Reddish Brown.

Using the adverb "new" as a noun, will inevitably fail as both given time 
A salient point for the catalog folks to consider, David

Very Dark Nougat? Very Medium Brown? Maybe since it's meant for skin tones,
it can have the name "Flesh", at least for a while (jk)

I thought that I found a nice compromise between LEGO's and Bricklink's
naming systems and the existing colours when I proposed renaming Dark Flesh into
Medium Brown... That did not last long.

| Another thing that crossed my mind, though I'm guessing precedent says "no",
is renaming previous colors. Like:
TLG Earth Orange / BL Brown 👉 BL Earth Brown
TLG Brown / BL Medium Brown 👉 BL Brown
TLG Medium Brown = BL Medium Brown
Maybe admin could come in and quash that idea (or not).

This one is a tough situation. The official LEGO name is "Medium Brown", but
BrickLink already has a "Medium Brown". The BrickLink "Medium Brown" is LEGO
"Brown", but BrickLink already has a "Brown". The BrickLink "Brown" is LEGO "Earth

Maybe go with "Medium Brown 2022", like Bladerunner 2049.

Two possible choices I have come up with that would avoid any color renaming:
"Light Brown" - This is a name used by LEGO for what is BrickLink "Fabuland Orange",
but BrickLink does not use this name yet. It is simple and short.
"Nougat Brown" - Since this color comes between "Reddish Brown" and "Medium Nougat"
on the skin tone scale, this one is a blend of those names. It is also simple
and short.
More to come on this...

| Light Brown seems really confusing to me. Because I can see that it isn't
IDENTICAL to medium brown, but it is pretty close. If they wind up sharing a
piece in common (The does seem rather unlikely...) it would be pretty hard to
tell which one is which on sight with no reference. When I see Light and Medium,
I expect to be able to recognize the difference with my eye.

I like Nougat brown. It has a good sound. But I really 1001Bricks suggestion
for
Light Bluish Brown, that way we can have a lot of new bees asking how to tell
the difference between light bluish brown and light brown just like we do from
time to time with the grays - I know at first I had a hard time telling the difference
between the grays and still sometimes do with the light ones.

Even thought renaming could feel like a mess, it might be good to remane the
current Medium Brown as it is used just for 42 pieces in the entire catalog.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=91
That would mean that the new color would have parity with Lego, and as new sites
talk about it they usually use the LEGO name and would create confusion to give
a different name on here. Also we can expect this new color to be used more than
the other.
Just my 2 cetns.

| | | Even thought renaming could feel like a mess, it might be good to remane the
current Medium Brown as it is used just for 42 pieces in the entire catalog.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=91
That would mean that the new color would have parity with Lego, and as new sites
talk about it they usually use the LEGO name and would create confusion to give
a different name on here. Also we can expect this new color to be used more than
the other.

Would it be that difficult to rename all of the BrickLink colors to match the
official LEGO name? That would make a lot of logical sense…

In all seriousness, though, how hard would it be? As someone who isn't familiar
with the catalog side of things, I don't understand why they can't just
rename the colors to match the official LEGO name or why we even have different
color names in the first place. If it were up to me, each color would have a
unique ID, and changing the name of a color would be a simple matter of changing
which name is associated with which ID. But I'm no data engineer…

That's the problem; when you don't know, common sense tells you it must
be easy
A bit like vaccination, climate, health, education - subjects, which are obvious
and we all have our idea how to manage this.
Let me give you a few examples on how it could be a problem for BL to rename
Brown in Earth Orange:
* all external references would be obsolete, like 1 B Google searchs results
on, for ex: "BrickLink Brown part 222345",
* hundred of thousands of websites, blogs and catalogs would've their text
obsoleted "Here's a picture of the brand new Brown Thingy I bought on BL!",
* all your order placed, received, invoices e-mail would be obsolete (they don't
contain the color ID but the name),
* a million people, including me, would be extremely unhappy.
I guess I forgot many other problems.
Including consistency as you say; in this case, why would you change?

It would be very difficult. BrickLink currently recognizes 236 colors, while
Lego has over 300 known colors (give or take, not counting multicombination IDs).
It's more complicated than a 1:1 name substitution. BrickLink's color
system has a very different purpose than Lego's: Making things easy for buyers
and sellers. I think Dark Bluish Gray could be changed to Dark Stone Grey without
too much trouble, but what do you do when a new seller has to decide whether
to list as Silver or Cool Silver? Have you ever tried to separate your 22 Medium
Reddish Violet bricks from your 221 Bright Purple?

I agree. I much prefer "Light Bluish Gray" to "Medium Stone Grey" and "Tan" to
"Brick Yellow", but that's just my opinion. I think consistency is more important.

This one is a tough situation. The official LEGO name is "Medium Brown", but
BrickLink already has a "Medium Brown". The BrickLink "Medium Brown" is LEGO
"Brown", but BrickLink already has a "Brown". The BrickLink "Brown" is LEGO "Earth
Orange", but BrickLink already has an "Earth Orange". *sigh*
Maybe go with "Medium Brown 2022", like Bladerunner 2049.
|
Two possible choices I have come up with that would avoid any color renaming:
"Light Brown" - This is a name used by LEGO for what is BrickLink "Fabuland Orange",
but BrickLink does not use this name yet. It is simple and short.
"Nougat Brown" - Since this color comes between "Reddish Brown" and "Medium Nougat"
on the skin tone scale, this one is a blend of those names. It is also simple
and short.
More to come on this...
|
Actually I like both more than Medium Brown in the first place. The "Medium"
word always confuses me, as sometimes it means "lighter" and sometimes it means
"darker".. it basically just means "another"

| I think that Nougat Brown and Medium Reddish Brown are the best names given so
far.
This new color looks so close to the old Medium Brown...
So why release unnecessary new color and not returning the old one to the pallet?

It strikes me as similar to BL Medium Brown, so I could certainly see "New Medium
Brown". Also I made a swatch based on similar colors. I'd really like to
see what everyone thinks, but honestly one of the key reasons I'm bringing
it up is that I *do not* want to see both colors covered by one BL name.

How about Brownish Reddish Orange (When New) - or BROWN for short.

With the precedent set by Medium Blue and Medium Azure, I suggest Medium Marron.

I’m not sure what precedent you’re referring to but it’s more châtain than marron.

Does anyone have both the new heads and one of the old Medium Brown heads? I
would like to see a comparison, since they look very similar from the images
that I have seen.
Also, @crimson30, why do you not want the new brown to be merged with the existing
Medium Brown colour? There are a number of other BL colours that are a combination
of multiple LEGO colours (Flat Silver, Copper, etc), so if there is no substantial
difference between them, I am not sure that we need a new colour. 🤔

I think there is enough difference between the two to warrant separate colors
in the BrickLink catalog. Especially if the "New Medium Brown" becomes more common.

BL 'Copper' and its three heads beg to differ.

Why don't we just make every piece its own color? I think that will take
care of all of our problems… /s

| Having one name for two colors is a pain. It makes hunting down bricks in TLG
121 or finding a 3001 in TLG 112 that much harder. Just contact the seller,
you say? I do that. A lot. It sucks.
Using Lime for Pastel Green / Fabuland Lime... not a huge deal if you ask me,
since there's no crossover in parts between the 2 colors. There are other
fringe cases like using Dark Orange for 216 Rust... again, if you know what you're
doing, you know what you're getting because the parts in 216 Rust aren't
available in Dark Orange (as far as I know). But even then, back when I didn't
know if x234 came in Dark Orange, I messaged all the sellers with a listing and
all but one of them basically said "No, it's not 216 Rust. It's Dark
Orange."

In my list, there are at least 7 colours remaining that have a crossover in part-colour
combination, while NOT counting Transparent Deep Blue and Dark Pink
Especially Medium Violet and Pink are messy.
