Thanks to Jake and TLC, we just posted an official LEGO color chart, with RGB, CMYK, and Pantone colors, and a danglish name! Take a look: (URL) will be working in the next few weeks with LDraw to associate each of these colors with our current (...)

(...) On further comparison, "Lig. Yellowich Orange" is the only color that uses the spelling "yellowich", while every other use is spelled "yellowish". I propose that the C-spelling is a typo and should be corrected. (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My guess is that "Neon Orange" is an opaque color, since it does not include the "Tr." qualifier. I'd also guess that it does not actually glow under blacklight, as it is listed as "Neon" instead of "Flourescent" (i.e. it's probably just a (...) (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
