    Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
   (...) Fantastic ! Is that believed to be complete, even inclusive of the odd scala, belville and HP colors ? Ray (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Dan Boger
   (...) We can't be sure - we've asked that someone look into it for us. Once we find out, we'll let you know :) Dan (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
     (...) After staring at this list for a while, I think it will be a sea change to use some of these names. For example: color #25 is called 'Earth Orange'. To my eye, this looks much darker than the color of a Kaadu (which we have called earth (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Dan Boger
      (...) The way I see it, we probably will never switch to calling colors by their LEGO names - some, like 'Lig. Yellowich Orange' just don't work for me :) It would be nice to correlate the names we use to the entries in the table. For that matter, (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
       (...) With respect to the RGB and the CMYK numbers... I did a bit of quick reading about the two color specification models. If I understood it correctly, RGB is more oriented towards monitor displays, while CMYK (subtractive) is intended to specify (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
      
           Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Jennifer L. Boger
       (...) Ray- I asked about this and got a sort of vague responce: The CMYK is given to tell people what the CMYK value is. If you want to print with it because it is better for printing, then use that. The values listed are for color the actual (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
      
           Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —David Laswell
        (...) It should be, since most modern printers use cyan, magenta, and yellow ink for color printing (I'm guessing "K" is for "blacK"?). In working with light, the primaries are red, blue, and green, and the secondaries are cyan, magenta, and _amber_ (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
       
            Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Tim David
        (I'm guessing "K" is for "blacK"?). "K" stands for Key, but why black is called key I don't know, you'd have to ask a printer (Person not a machine!) Tim (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
      
           Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Derek Raycraft
       (...) The way to test this is to do the translation between CMYK and RGB. If the numbers in the table convert more or less exactly, then we know it's just a simple translation. If they don't match, then it's likely the CMYK values have been ajusted (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —David Laswell
      (...) What's wrong with it? "Lig." is an abbreviation for "light" (not the one we're used to, but...), "yellowich" is only one letter different from "yellowish"...ah, you must object to their use of the strange foreign word "orange", right? ;P (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —David Laswell
      (...) On further comparison, "Lig. Yellowich Orange" is the only color that uses the spelling "yellowich", while every other use is spelled "yellowish". I propose that the C-spelling is a typo and should be corrected. (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Jennifer L. Boger
      (...) I've no doubt that it's a typo, but that's what they gave us, we didn't want to touch it just yet :) Jennifer (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —David Laswell
     (...) That's because the official Earth Orange color _is_ darker than the Kaadu. The Kakama mask and feet used on Huki from the Bionicle line (McD's Matoran/Tohunga set from September 01) are the color officially termed Earth Orange (as was listed (...)

         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —David Laswell
     (...) Whoops. I got my "oranges" mixed up there. The official Earth Orange was actually identified as what we know as brown (tree pieces, Pohatu, wagon wheels). The official Kanohi checklist used to identify it as this color, but some of the more (...) (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Mark Papenfuss
     (...) No, the list is not complete - at BW03 Bill (one of the MasterBuilders) brought out his color list and let us see it. He even had a color copy of it he handed out to a few of us. If I recall correctly these are the colors they (the (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
      (...) your photo... The TLC/peeron list has a range of colors above 200 that are not on the tile swatches. Conversely, the tile swatches are present for the following numbers that are not on the list: 20, 109, 114, 117, 129, 132, 144 and 156. The (...) (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Tim David
      snip (...) Possibly the last three in the TLC list are glitter colours, 176 178 and 179, the 'flip-flop' colours? I'm not certain I think that in paint terms at least this means colours that change depending on viewing angle Tim (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Todd Lehman
      (...) I asked him if he had cleared it (his distributing it and/or the public disclosure of it online) with LEGO IP attorneys and he indicated no. --Todd (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Mark Papenfuss
      (...) Ah. All I recall was he wanted to give it to somebody who could get it to the masses. But since a list was made public by Lego I think it would be safe to put out the list that you have, if you still have it... Do you still have it? Mark P (...)

         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
     (...) Mark, Is Maersk Blue included in the picture you have above ? If so, which number is it ? Ray (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Mark Papenfuss
     (...) Not that I recall or can see from the picture. He said that was a list of the 2003 colors that they could order more of, and he said earlier that Maersk was no longer open for ordering for them. Hope that helps... Mark P (URL) (21 years ago, 9-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Official LEGO Color Chart —Ray Sanders
   (...) Another thought WRT the completeness of this list... I suspect that the colors listed here are the ABS colors and do not take into account the various non-ABS colors being used in some of the Bionicle Krana masks. Those masks are using a (...)
