Hey all,
Well I got board today so rather than doing laundry or something else
productive I decided to answer a question I have been asking myself for months.
Actually I think it was John Barns that put the idea back into my head recently.
Anyway below you will find the top 15 colors in order of how many parts have
been made per color. These numbers are probably off a little bit but there far
enough apart that the order probably wouldn't change.


the top 15


1.)  white                  2477parts <--  I always thought red was #1
2.)  black                  2406parts
3.)  red                    2120parts
4.)  yellow                 2073parts
5.)  light grey             1617parts
6.)  blue                   1512parts
7.)  dark grey              1079parts
8.)  green                   905parts
9.)  brown                   668parts
10.)  tan                     592parts
11.)  medium stone grey       491parts <-- this is creeping up the list fast
12.)  dark stone grey         438parts
13.)  orange                  409parts
14.)  trans white "clear"     302parts <--I didn't think it would make the list
15.)  medium blue             232parts <-- I’m surprised by this one too.


These results really surprised me, but then again other than medium blue I use
these colors in most of my models. It should be interesting to see how long it
takes the "new" colors to come close to there counter parts.


Enjoy,
OnDrew

p.s. I found my information on Bricklink's color guide about 3 day's ago.

(...) Very odd. Does this include Bionicle parts? I think there are some blue bionicles, so maybe that skews the results? Bruce (19 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Interesting that BL reports a different order than Peeron does: 1 Black 143939 2 Gray 80050 3 White 71770 4 Red 67956 5 Yellow 52425 6 Blue 45521 7 DkGray 20404 8 Green 13672 9 Brown 8167 10 Tan 6925 11 MdStone 6332 12 Clear 5895 13 TrRed 4319 (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) contain that color. I just looked at a small one ('Dark Tan') which shows as '7' usages. Looking at the individual inventories, I find 9 unique parts. So take the BL numbers with a grain of salt. They are not telling you the number of unique (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.color)
