I'm working on a 2x2 lego color chart and as I was going through my pieces,
I noticed that some 2x2 tiles that I thought were bright pink were actually a
different shade of pink.
Initially I marked them down as being the color "pink", but now on bricklink's
color chart I realized they could possibly be "rose pink" as it's
a very similar color. While rose pink seemed to stop being used as a color before
I was even alive, there's no image uploaded for pink 2x2 tiles and the image
uploaded for rose pink 2x2 tiles seems very similar to the tiles I own. These
tiles came from a pick a brick when I was a kid in the earlier 2000s, not from
a set.
Timeline wise it makes sense to be pink, but I guess I just wanted a second opinion.
I feel like I'm going cross eyed the longer I stare at the chart lol.

Quick pic without great lighting, but you can see that pink and rose pink are
very distinct from bright pink, but the difference between them is small.

Interesting! Only 31 known lots and few for sale in the whole world - which half
of them probably being listing errors. I didn't even know "Rose Pink"
was an actual color on BrickLink. Wow.

It only has been for like a week and there is no announcement. Most of the inventories
are corrected, but those sets don't get parted out a lot. It'll be a
while.
Yeah seems like there were a few "new" colors added to the guide/catalog...
Now I gotta update my color spreadsheet to make sure I didn't miss anything

Thanks for showing a pic with all three in one frame. I guess like how other
people said, the difference is so slight that you would really need another similar
piece to compare it to, like the grays vs the bluish grays.
I did order some pink shutters that I can compare to the tile when they arrive,
I just didn't want to rely solely on that. It's definitely easier to
tell the difference in this photo than just looking at the color swatches.

Yeah that's true, if pink is a desaturated version of bright pink then rose
pink is a desaturated version of pink. Comparing both photos in a photo editor,
I feel more comfortable that the tiles I have are pink but I guess I'll only
know for sure by comparing them to a piece in real life that I know is pink
I guess one difficulty is that "rose" and "pink" are overlapping
colors (and, additionally, many languages don't even have separate words
for them ... I'm not sure how one would translate "rose pink" into
French, for example).

Well, literaly, “rose rose” of course
Otherwise, I would call it “vieux rose.”
In the same way en:brown is fr:marron and en:maroon is fr:bordeaux
Ummm, then logic might indicate the (new) name to be not correct or not accurate??
It’s accurate in the sense that LEGO called it “Rose.”
I guess that the “pink” is because “Roses are red, violets are blue…”
I'm just asking. Not wishing to start an argument
See my other post -- I have always called it Dark Paradisa Pink or actually
Brownish Paradisa Pink.
If someone had asked me (strangely, no one ever does ), I’d have called it
“old rose,” because it’s old, it was called “rose” by LEGO, and it matches French
“vieux rose” in tint.

Just a quick note here, the addition of Rose Pink to the catalog just started
this month and is not yet finished (in regard to inventories, images etc.), so
don't rely too much on catalog data for Rose Pink and Pink at this time.
If you got your tiles from a pick a brick wall at a LEGO store in the early 2000s,
then they are for sure Pink and not Rose Pink.

Is Rose Pink what used to be known as Paradisa Pink?

OMG. Thank you! I thought I was loosing my mind when I my employee asked me what
the difference was between Pink and Rose Pink. I didn't remember ever seeing
the color before.
It turns out all the 'yellowed' pink I've been listing in the last
8 years was actually Rose Pink. I'm so glad to see this addition to the color
chart.

For reference, my pink 3899 came from 6414-1. Confirmed Pink.
My pink 3794a and 970c00 came from 4161-1. Confirmed Pink.
I have confirmed pink pieces in inventory from 4161, 4562, 5805, 5810, 5860,
5870, and 5890.
Is it basically just 6402 and 6410 that we are concerned about?

I can't say anything about the current status of the Rose Pink addition as
I'm not directly involved with it and don't have much personal experience
with Pink and Rose Pink and their timelines.

Ok thanks for the clearer info! I figured that since rose pink was from a while
before I could have gotten my hands on it, pink was the more likely option. Just
wanted to have all my bases covered .
I forget where, but I think I saw that an alternate name for rose pink was paradisa
pink? So it makes sense that this was an earlier formula for the color that ended
up being relegated to a series.
What makes this a distinct color and not a production change?
Like there is variation akin to this in pearl gold, dark red, light bluish grey,
trans orange, trans neon orange, and trans light blue that didn't warrant
new colors.
Is it that it is set specific?
Or recognized by the lego group itself?
I'm gonna curl up in a ball in the corner now.........
It is. "Rose Pink" is 223 Light Pink or 17 Rose while "Pink"
is 9 Light Reddish Violet. See e.g. https://rebrickable.com/colors/
https://ryliehowerter.net/colors.php says,
— for LEGO 17 Rose: “Often listed as "Light Pink on BL. Replaced by 9 Light
Reddish Violet starting in 1994.”
— for LEGO 9 Light Reddish Violet / BL 23 Pink: “Replaced 17 Rose starting in
1994. Replaced by 222 Light Purple around 2004.”
The dates seem to match.
But for LEGO 222 Light Pink, Rylie says: “An unreleased color. Replaced 101 Medium
red around 2004.”
(Medium Red = Salmon)

for real! Some of the color comparisions (light yellow vs bright light yellow,
lilac vs medium violet) really suck to try and distinguish... it's even worse
if the part comes in both colors

It's really not that hard once you have experience, daylight-rated LED bulbs,
and maybe a color chart if you need it. I can easily identify either of those,
as well as Light Gray vs. LBG and others, without even the need for a comparison
piece.

What I have generally found was that most colors once I got a reference, I didn't
need one.

Update: triple checked my tile with the pink shutters I got today, now 99.9%
sure that the tile is pink . Though tbh others in this thread helped me feel
more comfortable with this conclusion so thanks everyone!
