Many people have asked what colors are currently considered "universal" or
locked. This means that these colors will almost certainly never be changed.
Universal colors are colors that we consider to be untouchable for change.
While the final list of extended "locked" colors has not been finalized yet, at
minimum, the universal colors will include:
- red
- green
- blue
- yellow
- white
- black
- new light gray
- new dark gray
- new brown
This list will grow from what I understand, as decisions are made internally in
the next couple of weeks about what colors do should be added to this list.
But for sure, the colors above are locked, and considered universal. They're
here for the very long term. Like a good club, once you're on the list, you're
on the list.

Maybe some sorts of tan in the next starwars-set? Or (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Hopefully some of those (t-white/clear, t-yellow, t-green, t-red) will be included in the additions to the list. Ray Sanders lugnet # 124 (21 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
