How can it be that, for many items, there are colour choices offered for sale
on Bricklink that are not among Bricklink's known colours listed for those
items?
Thanks

Hi,
Main reasons:
1. Parts that are not in an inventory (that’s what “known” means: it’s in an
inventory). That can be PaB, BaM, new sets not yet inventoried, Q-elements,
parts from LEGOLAND parcs.
2. Errors: the seller didn’t recognize the colour correctly (ignorance, lighting…),
or they didn’t recognize the mould variant, or they made a typo/entry error….

They might be listed in error, a non-production part sold at Lego Land, or bricklink
does not know the set they came in. That is what known colors are, known to Bricklink
by the set they are in.

Hence, the need for dummy sets and a greater focus on the very thing people come
to BrickLink for.
Don’t worry, though! The incomplete collection feature and MOC Pop-up store have
got you covered!
