| Hello all,
I need some help in locating specific shades of dark pink and pearl light gray
for my color reference chart.
The dark pink I need is LEGO color 22, Medium Reddish Violet. It first came
out in the mid to late '90s in Belville sets. I would either need a 1x3
brick or 2 1x2 bricks to finish filling my 2x4 'slot'. I have a theory
on how to tell it apart from the later dark pink, LEGO 221, Bright Purple. The
sound is a higher pitch when shaken with other bricks or dropped. It feels lighter
than newer bricks. And the pin is a straight cylinder inside the bricks - no
side supports attached to it. Which may account for the higher pitch and lighter
feel (less material). Of course I could be wrong as I only have a small sample
size (3 pieces) in that color to go by. I'd post a picture of the 2 shades
but they are almost impossible to tell apart, even in optimal lighting.
The other color is pearl light gray. I need LEGO color 296, Cool Silver. Part
47457, Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs and Curved Sides, comes in both
shades (LEGO 131, Silver is the other, which I have). I checked the USA listings
and didn't see any mention of anyone differentiating the two shades. I've
attached a picture with the two shades. I would need two of this part.
If anyone would have both of these parts, please let me know! I have dozens
of other want lists so I'm sure I could find other things to buy too!
Many thanks!
Bill
