I am just ‘reposting’ this from Eurobricks website. I think this would be
helpful for all us as AFOL’s.
TLG needs to know what colors are missing in existing elements
From TLG:
Hi LEGO Fans,
The LEGO Community Development would like to know which of the already
existing elements would be needed most urgently in missing colors. Some
optimism presumed the number one of the resulting list could end in a “color
change” and might be produced in the future.
To participate - the way is as follows:
Suggestions need to be send by email until the June 30,2010. These suggestions
will be sorted and afterwards published for a voting. The final chart will be
send to the LCD Team.
For easier handling the suggestions should be aligned to the description of the
BrickLink catalogue: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P
Suggestions only will be accepted in a color which is still in production. So
e.g.“Fabuland brown” is invalid because production of this color was stoped in
1997.
An overview about the actual colors could be downloaded here:
2010 LEGO Color palette
An example:
Part No: 50746
Name: Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3
New color: brick-yellow (tan)
The suggestions should be sent to this email address: ccf(at)x-brick.de
Either post here or on
Eurobricks.com
website.
I am pretty sure some of you have some ideas! Help out if you can.

I’d be very interested in even just a page with the bricklink colour name, lego
colour name, peeron colour name, and photo... That basic (and rather time
consuming...)
God Bless,
Nathan

I considered that, but with my personal blog I found I'm bad about generating
new content regularly enough to keep a readership.
I was planning to keep the News section as a blog-like 'look what I found'
splash page for the site.

Why not do a blog, Aaron?

We can see what Flickr users think of this idea since the question has been posted there
too.

Yea, I took a look at that group, and it did not seem to be covering the topics
and resources that I would like to cover.
But I would definitely like the site to cross-pollinate that groups photos, this
groups discussions, and other color-related LEGO info from other sites, blogs,
and resources.

Do you think that there is sufficient interest/value in a LEGO Colour
website? I have a lot of ideas about forum structure, contests, posting
rules, topics of conversation, and hopefully some useful resources for LEGO
builders of all themes.
Obviously, the site would focus on the use of colour and colour combinations
in LEGO creations. Also, a ‘New Colour Watch’ topic, colour fading and
bleaching, and hopefully a fairly definitive linkable colour palette.
I’d like to hear your ideas and criticisms!

While color is important to many AFOLs, I don’t believe that a website
dedicated to only the topic of color would work too well due to its possible
small niche of members.
So my suggestion would be to start a Flickr group and put your time and
effort into that. With over 2,000 members in the main Lego® group (called
‘LEGO’) there plus all of the related AFOL groups you should be able to
maintain a pretty cool group dedicated to color. I know that I would join.
If even a Lego® Complaining Group can be found on Flickr, then any dream is
possible! ;^)

There’s sort of a LEGO Color group already on Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/legocolors/
Called “All the colors of the (Lego) Rainbow”
