(...) That's a better reference then the one on the Peeron site and it links the BrickLink names and Peeron names together. But what about the official LEGO color names? Stefan. (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

I don't believe they have official names, only numbers. I have photographs of a reference board hanging in the model shop at LLW that shows these numbers and which may be of use: (URL) were taken a year or so ago so won't have the new bleys etc. on (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm not sure why Peeron doesn't have a link to this on the main page, but they actually got an 'official guide' with RGB/CMYK/Pantone from Lego last year: (URL) like I've used that as a guide repeatedly, since it came from an official source, (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Before I asked this question I saw these webpages but I truely underestimated the content! The link between BrickLink names and Peeron names is on one page and the link between Peeron names and LEGO names is on the other. What I was trying to (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
