Not sure in which topic this would fit, but I would like to make the following
request/suggestion:

Would it be possible to have the colour already selected if a piece is chosen
from the colour guide.

For example I am in the colour guide for medium blue and searching for a particular
slope. When I find the slope I have and want to put in my inventory I select
the picture and I am linked to the page of that piece. I would like that page
to open up with the colour already selected to save a step. Is that possible?
This would save me a fair amount of time when entering pieces.

Would this be helpful to anyone else?

If you go to the bottom of the Price Guide, click "Add to my Inventory"
and it will auto-select the color from the Price Guide you were looking at.

Thanks - that may be a bit faster (although I think my suggestion would still
be extremely helpful and much faster!)

It has been asked years ago but somehow was never acknowledged nor implemented
whilst this most likely is very easy to fix. All it takes is adding a parameter
to the hyperlinks on the colour guide page.

Similarly, it would be great if they could do the same adding of the colour code
to the image references so the relevant colour image is shown and not the default
colour.

This would be very much low hanging fruit and an easy win. If only they were
not afraid to touch the legacy code.
