Hello everyone, a rather pointed question: is it possible to find a color reference
on a Lego piece?
Example: on a 2x4 plate, we find the Lego brand, the part number (3020)... and
the other two? Namely, 40 and apparently 98 underlined.

No, the same mould is used for all the colours (well, the ones that use the same
material, transparent colours used PC and had another mould because PC doesn’t
shrink the same way as ABS (solid colours) when cooling, so the dimensions are
different).
These numbers you see reference the mould: its “fabrication number” (= when was
it created / what version) and the position of the part in the mould (when multiple
parts are moulded together).
So if they spot a problem on parts, they know which mould and where to look on
the mould.
