| (...) This does apply to colors, albeit indirectly. A cross-reference would allow different sites/DBs to maintain different color names if they wished, and still translate between parts and colors. (...) Gaining cooperation for a cross-reference (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

| (...) I'd suggest that we keep the LEGO names in the database, as another naming scheme. That way, when we want to look up the LEGO name for a color, just look it up in the database. Better yet, when an AFOL calls LEGO and refers to OUR name for (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

| (...) Because unless TLC wholy converts over to using the same names that we do, it'd be nice to know what they're talking about when they start using a name that we don't. Also, it's nice to know what to ask for when you need to order a replacement (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) While this has absolutly nothing to do with color names, it is a good idea that Steve and I have been kicking around for a couple of years now. I know Richard from BrikTrak has already built some translation tables between Peerl/LDraw and BL. (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

| (...) I do not think anybody would need to "own" anything here (other than Lego). And I do not think any one site should be the leader with this. If the 3 sites chose to work something out then they should all have an equal say. As catalog admin on (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) Because when a new color is introduced, it would help if people could infer the official name without having to ask for it. (...) What about previous colors? TLC might only have to be concerned about the current color pallete, but Bricklink (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) I think it's a good idea for LDraw.org to lead the way on this. Of course, as both of you mentioned, such project would include input from other groups. (...) I think instead of coming together and trying to hash out universal naming schemes (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) In the standard color wheel, pastels are achieved by adding white to a pure color, and earthtones are achieved by adding black, so I'm guessing the really dark colors are all termed Earth Something. The really confusing part is that I think (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) I know it's not, by definition, a LSC issue, but perhaps it should be. Much of the cross-site element "system" has been based on LDraw's part numbering and whatnot. If you look at Peeron, for instance, the parts are listed by their LDraw (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)
