| As my "Brick 2 x 4" color collection (every different color) is complete now,
I wanted to check for other colors (of course I'm missing some trans-colors).
I saw that "Brick 1 x 1" comes in many different colors (at least more than "Brick
2 x 4").
Is there a way to find the part that comes in most different colors in the Lego
universe?
Thanks!

Tiles 2x2 come in the most LEGO colors, because LEGO themselves use it as color
patches.
But 2x4 bricks are used in tests, so unofficially they come in the most colors.

| Hi Maxx,
nice picture! Are you the one with the color collection that is used at a museum
currently (think I read something somewhere in this forum) 
So, according to your link, "Brick 1 x 1" appears in most different colors (63),
while "Brick 2 x 2" only appears in 55 different colors (at least the colors
that are used in sets as it seems).
So you're saying I should go for a "Brick 2 x 2" collection and use "All"
instead of "Known" colors?
Too bad chrome silver and chrome gold seems to only exist in "Brick 2 x 4" -
but I'm ok with that (already have them in my collection).
Thanks!

You should go for all of 2x4, 2x2, 1x4, 1x2, 1x1 bricks. And the same for plates.
Then report back!
Personally, I like doing 1x2 and 1x1 plates. For my colour chart, I use 1x2 plates
with 1x2 tiles next to them so you get both studs and flat surfaces in a small
area. But then I don't really care about the older and/or rarer colours as
I rarely come across them.

Hehe, that would be another option as well, yes

Good tipp with the flat surfaces, I will think about it.
I have a hard time to distinguish between Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray, especially
on weapons - have a whole bag of them that I don't want to list on bricklink
because I'm not sure about the color :-/

Yes, currently in the Dutch LEGO museum in Grootegast

Not 2x2 brick, but the 2x2 tile, LEGO themselves use that for colorcharts.

Good luck, no matter which part you go for, you will soon find there is more
out there than expected

| Ah, Tiles! Ok, thanks As already suggested by someone else, it would be really
good to have a smooth surface for color checks in addition. Thanks!

I have many rare 2x2 tiles listed in my store... you might not like the price
though, these aren't easy to find! 2x4 bricks (or equivalent, e.g. 4 1x2
bricks) is definitely the best starting point for a color collection.
