  Are they changing it back the way it was? Now every single MOC on Rebrickable
that calls for trans-black shows that nobody has it. I deal with several people
each week that will not buy a MOC if the seller does not have 100% of the parts.
If they have a new color or shade coming out why not call it "new trans-black"
or anything but to remove hundreds of parts from inventory makes no sense.
Who wants to buy a part with "old" in the name or brown when they are
looking for black.

They’re still looking for the same color. Send buyers a link to the discussion.
People need to familiarize themselves with the forum.

Rebrickable will just have to adjust it on their end as well?

It sounds like Rebrickable needs to respond to a change at Bricklink.

The LEGO Group released a new color which they call "Trans-Black"

Unfortunately, BrickLink already has a color called "Trans-Black"

TLG refers to this color as "Trans-Brown"

To avoid confusion, the catalog people decided to adopt TLG's naming conventions

For the time being, Trans-Black has been renamed to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)"

The new color, when it is introduced, will be called "Trans-Black (2023)"

Eventually, the stuff in parentheses will be removed

It appears that TLG intends to eventually phase out Trans-Brown in favor of Trans-Black
