Hello,

Wasn't sure if I can add known/available colours for parts using the forms
so am hoping it's okay to post the request here.

 
Part No: 4863c01  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 2 Plane, Single Top Hole and Double Bottom Holes for Glass with Trans-Light Blue Glass (4863 / 4862)
* 
4863c01 (Inv) Window 1 x 4 x 2 Plane, Single Top Hole and Double Bottom Holes for Glass with Trans-Light Blue Glass (4863 / 4862)
Parts: Window

Please can this part be updated to make it known/available in Red. Seems a bit
of an oversight that there's a photo showing it existing in Red but I can't
select the colour Red from the list of colours.

Six of them are found in set 6392 (as well as two in White). I realise they
are part assemblies (counterparts), but since it exists in White & Yellow, I
figure it should also exist in Red. Unless I am missing something and making
a glaringly obvious mistake?

Thank you
Marc

“Known” colours are those that appear in at least one inventory.  That part is
not “known” in Red because it’s not in any inventory.

The composing parts are the ones found in new sets and are already in the inventories. 
Such assemblies are added to inventories for Used sets, in the Counterparts section.
That the assembly in Red is not in any inventory is just because no one added
them… unless there’s a policy I don’t know about (but I’m not a specialist
) that would prevent them to be added.
You can make the corresponding change requests.  Once they are accepted, the
assembly will be in inventories and Red will a “known” colour.

Now, as for being able to select a colour for items for sale, you should be able
to choose any colour, regardless of its “known” status.

Thank you, I thought it was the other way around, that the available colour had
to be listed in the catalogue first in order for the part to be added to an inventory
(you can tell I don't get involved with such matters very often).

Thanks for your help.

The list of 'Known Colours' is automatically updated based on the part
appearing in sets.
So, currently the red version does not exist in any sets (the individual red
part exists in sets but not the complete 'with trans-light blue glass'
version)

It needs to be added as a counterpart (same as the white & yellow versions) to
the relevant set(s).
You can use the usual change form to add it as a counterpart...
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

Once that change is sunbmitted and accepted, Red will then appear in the list
of 'Known Colours'.

Thank you very much, I have now filled in the change request form for both Red
and White counterparts to be added to this set inventory.

Thanks
