    What color is this? —Dan Boger
   This is a piece from 3119 - what color is it? (URL) other bricks in the picture are standard colors, for comparison. We're thinking of calling it "Apricot" or something similar... Peach doesn't really work, since it's too pink... Ideas? :) D&J (24 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.scala)

     (...) I see it as more of an orangey red than pink, but you're right, That is one weird color. Greg Majewski (URL) (24 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.scala)
   
        Re: What color is this? —Peter White
     (...) Most probably 'apricot' would be most apt, but since it's an approximation of a plant pot colour, you could even go with 'terracotta'. But 'apricot' would cover other uses. pete.w (24 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.scala)

     (...) doesn't (...) This is a pinkish/redish color. I like the terracotta that was suggested. If you told me something was "Scala orange" I would think it is the pale orange color (some examples would be the piece used as a dog bed in 3110, the (...)

         Re: What color is this? —Suzanne D. Rich
     (...) SCALA colors can be broken into two schemes. The first is seen in sets of 1997 (the 3200's) and the second beginning when the dolls became characters in 1998 (the 3100's). Although 3119 uses the newer color scheme, the element you picked out (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.scala)

      (...) I've been thinking about making a LEGO color chart by picking pieces in all the colors (I think I have all of them except Maersk blue - and I could borrow that).

          Re: What color is this? —Suzanne D. Rich
      (...) I've done that at home with Todd. Our issue then was about violet vs purple. Put all the elements on one white plate. But there are many more now. I'd love to work with you if you would do this. I have official names for most colors. Over time (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.scala, lugnet.publish, lugnet.faq)
     
          Re: What color is this? —Frank Filz

        Color chart —Suzanne D. Rich
   I have a finished rough draft of an element color chart: (URL) to see how much order there can be to what was (to me) seeming like a jumble of new colors. Rather than render each swatch as an image, I used HTML's table background specs for the (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.faq)
