It would be interesting to pinpoint when the color changed. I don’t have any
pieces except the new ones I can confirm a date for.

I think it’s a change in the color. TLG announced six new colors with the
Friends line, but they were blues, greens and purples.

Hmm - That’s kind of annoying. Your picture shows exactly the same color
difference as I’m seeing. So, I’ll have to just consider them slight variants
of the same color. Luckily, they do not look bad together (and in fact, look a
bit like variations in real-world bricks).

Do the new Friends sets have a “different” dark red, and if so, what is it
called?
|
I just compared some recently acquired some dark red 1x2 bricks (from the POB
wall at Rockefeller Center) with some plates from an older Star Wars set and the
color is slightly but noticeably different - the newer bricks have more of a
“sand” tone that is not quite as rich as the older ones.

Hi,
Do the new Friends sets have a "different" dark red, and if so, what is it
called?
The new Friends sets advertised many new colors and I noticed that when I got
3061 (City Park Cafe), it had a different dark red color. It seems to have a
bit more purple in it than the normal dark red. I assumed this was a new color
and have kept these bricks separate (and they are definitely a different shade
than the old dark red, but you must carefully compare them).
Yesterday, I found loads of 2x4x1 bricks at pick-a-brick (Mission Viejo, CA Lego
store) in this new dark red. I tested them and they match the ones from the
Friends sets.
I was looking on bricklink to order more plates to go with them, but to my
dismay, I could not find any color differentiation. I went to bricklink stores
that I new had parted out City Park Cafe's and the plates and tiles from those
sets appeared to be classified as regular "dark red."
Can anyone help? I want to get more plates that match this new color, but don't
know how to specify them on bricklink, etc. I hope that this is not simply a
sudden change in the official "dark red" color.

I am just ‘reposting’ this from Eurobricks website. I think this would be
helpful for all us as AFOL’s.
An example:
Part No: 50746
Name: Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3
New color: brick-yellow (tan)

For requests for the same part in multiple colors, I daisy-chained the color
numbers and their respective names to avoid an excessively long message. Is that
OK? If not, I’ll submit my “excessively-long, non-daisy-chained” version.
Give it a series of daisy-chained Splats, each a diff color
Some of these items have been released in the requested part-color combo before,
but are hard to come by today, so I’m basically asking TLG to re-release those,
like the first item below.
