I am inventorying my black pieces and I have some legs. I entered 972 and the
only color option is green. Why is this? It happened on another piece also. I
searched here but didn't find anything mentioned so of course I think I did
something wrong.

It appears they are only letting you add those parts 970, 971, 972 in the color
of their default small (color) image. 970c00 works just fine though. Leg assemblies
are really broken once they come apart anyways.

Hopefully someone who can fix this will see your message here.

My collection input was designed with some strange logic about colors of parts,
I suggested the logic would better work if it checked only the existence of an
image for a color to know it exists. Many old items don't have PCC or are
not linked to any inventory and so are not known colors.

You can go around this limitation sometimes bu adding it directly from the catalog
page:

 
Part No: 972  Name: Leg, Left
* 
972 Leg, Left
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part

Hi! Thank you for pointing this issue out. The current workaround for it is what
Stellar describes in the comment above. However, the team is aware of the issue
and that it needs to be addressed.

Hopefully I can get it to work this way in the meantime.
