It's an interesting point you have made with seeing the colour you want. I
sort basic bricks by colour and everything else by form. The reason that I
sort basic bricks by colour is because I don't look at them, so seeing the
colour doesn't work. I just dump my hand into the bin and feel for the
piece I want, and it works for me.
A lot of it has to do with what you build. I am into town, so I spend most
of my time creating buildings. These usually work on two or three colours
and consist mostly of bricks. So having a bucket full of blue bricks works
best for me since when you are building walls you can use multiple
combinations of brick length, but the colour matters.
I do sort out the specialised pieces, for the same reason others have
mentioned. finding a black one stud 45 degree sloped brick in a bucket full
of black is near to impossible.
