I’d like to just see some internal consistency on what TLC calls various colors.

I’d first like to know if Jake’s color names are still the official locked colors :

If so, then why are color descriptions on the shop-at-home site different from this list?

For example, there’s no “Dark Green” on Jake’s list, but the “classic” green color (such as the current green waffle/baseplates or the classic Spruce aka Pine trees) are listed as being “Dark Green” at the shop at home site.

Also, I’ve never seen any bricks from LEGO that are “Nougat” or “Light Nougat” colored. But then I’ve only been an AFOL for almost a year.

So, can someone provide an officially official list of color names that LEGO uses for their actual products? That would be a good start, in my opinion, for being able to exactly match color names in the various lexicons in use (Bricklink, Peeron, SAH, etc.)

Thanks!

Rob
