Which color does everyone think is more unpopular right now Lime or Orange? Or
is there another color that is not popular either, maybe Red?

I've used Medium Azure in a couple of my projects, and I plan to order parts
in Lime and maybe Dark Purple later this year. As for Medium Lavender and Magenta,
the only parts that I've ever used in those colors were the hair bows that
can be used with mini-doll and some minifigure hair pieces. I have absolutely
no use for Bright Pink in my projects, so I would say Bright Pink would be even
less popular than Orange or Lime... but that's just my opinion.

Oh, I'm not saying that no one buys these colors, just that in my experience
they don't sell well. I just got rid of some parts in the colors listed above
that had been languishing in my store for *checks notes* three years.

(Maybe part of the issue is that the parts that come in these colors are themselves
unpopular anyway!)

By all means keep my store in mind when you're looking for Dark Purple; I
have quite a bit of it at the moment.

I think I will keep your store in mind. It may be a couple of months, though
- I have two further projects to complete, but at least I already have vehicle
mudguards in Dark Purple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find the right
parts to build a Dark Purple and Black Ford Mustang convertible.

I sell a lot of Medium Azure, though not as much as Medium Blue, which is extremely
popular over the past year. I also sell a lot of Dark Purple, though far more
specialty parts than regular bricks, plates, or tiles. And I sell a TON of Lime.
Out of all of those, Magenta is easily the worst seller for me, and Medium Lavender
and Bright Pink are also low, about the same level as Dark Pink, Medium Nougat,
and Trans-Orange. As to the OP, Lime sells far better than Orange. But IMO, Magenta
is the lowest seller.

Yes magenta too. Glad I don't have pounds of that color in my store.

Of those two? I sell lime at a 20:1 ratio to Orange. Typically the very small
stuff like 1x1 round tiles.

There used to be an all times most/least sold list. Does anyone know if this
still exists?

Cheers ...

I have never liked orange. I much prefer lime or any other color.

Just my opinion,

I really like both.
I would also like to buy more of them.
Just waiting for Lego to do more of the tricky, moc-heavy parts in these colors.
But there's also the issue of old parts, ceased production, which won't
ever be remade and this hurts a lot of ideas.
