Part No: 3009p01e  Name: Brick 1 x 6 with Black Car Grille Pattern (Embossed Print)

3009p01e Brick 1 x 6 with Black Car Grille Pattern (Embossed Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated {Blue}

I have this part, with embossed grille, in blue. There are lots of this part
in blue for sale as well. But the color blue is not in the list of 'known'
colors. It this because it's not in a known set?

As a result I can not add the part the BrickStore application, as it only allows
to add it in a known color. Of course you could say that's an issue in BrickStore,
but it relies on the 'known colors' in Bricklink. And since we know this
part really exists in blue, shouldn't it be in the 'known colors'
list, even if we don't know in what set it appeared?

What would be the best way to solve this?

Yes, the Known Colors is automatically compiled from the part being in a sets
inventory.

BrickStore does not rely on Known Colors... you just need to change the colour
drop down menu to All Colors (top right corner of the 'Add Items' dialog
box).

Ah, I got it. Yes I already used 'All colors' but as soon as I selected
blue, the item disappeared from the matching parts. But that was because I had
enabled the 'lock color selection' button (right of 'All Colors'.
With that button deselected, I can indeed just add it in blue now. Thanks!

You can easily add it by changing the colour to blue, if you had a store.
