Are we changing these yet? The official inventory does not mention any false color called “Rust” and we know that it does not exist.

I don't think that a decision has been made on this subject at this point,
we can therefore not honor your request to change the color.

There is no doubt in my mind, though, that these parts are intended to be red,
but some issue with the plastic (probably because it needs to be softer than
plastic for other bricks), the color gets the darker/rusty color.

If you want to push for a change on the policy of this color, please contact
the catalog team or ask in the Catalog forum. As an inventory admin, I have no
say on this matter.
