Below are four colors that I would like to see added to the Bricklink catalog:

-Pearl Blue
-Pearl Brown
-Pearl Green
-Pearl Red

These four colors were used in the Rahkshi Bionicles. If you look at the parts
from each set (Item No: 44807 for example), you can tell that buyers and sellers
are clearly confused, they are listing the parts as "Metallic Green" and even
"Chrome Green" because the parts have a more metallic look than just regular
green/blue/red/brown.

LEGO does have IDs/names for these colors (and so does BrickOwl):
138-Metallic Bright Blue
187-Metallic Earth-Orange
136-Metallic Dark Green
184-Metallic Bright Red

Each color should only have 3 known parts each: 44138, 44807, and 44140. (unless
I am missing something).

We already have Pearl White and Pearl Black, so I'm not quite sure why the
rest weren't added.

This addition was originally brought up by grey_beard in the Colors forum several
months ago, but seemed to be forgotten, so hopefully bringing it up here gets
more traction.

Metallic Bright Blue is 185.
Metallic Dark Green is 186.

This is 185: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54005pb01&idColor=78#T=C&C=7
This part also has a PCC in 185: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?itemType=P&itemNo=32174&v=2

If an Admin sees this, please remove the Trans-Light Blue photo for part 32174.

I second this.

I just tried ordering some missing parts from my Rebrickable inventory. The missing
Pearl Red resulted in color = not applicable. I didn’t notice it until I received
BLUE parts.

Now I know why. It would be really helpful if these colors were added.

+1 vote from me.

I was just sitting with
 
Part No: 44140  Name: Bionicle Rahkshi Back Cover with Groove
* 
44140 Bionicle Rahkshi Back Cover with Groove
Parts: BIONICLE
in my hands. It's clearly not Green but
has a pearlish look to it.

I am very happy to say that this has been completed.

BrickLink now has four new colors:

- Pearl Blue
- Pearl Brown
- Pearl Green
- Pearl Red

All of the parts and inventories effected by these additions have been updated
accordingly.

I believe the only Bionicle color that is not recognized on BrickLink now is
Cool Silver.

Cheers,
Randy

158 Trans-Neon Red 32554 But there's a note on that one at least.

Ah, yes. Forgot about that one.
