Hi guys, Not sure if this is really that interesting but I figured I should give a heads up to .cad. TLG have released their internal colour pallette (URL) Good luck finding something to do with it ;) Tim (14 years ago, 28-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Thanks for the heads up Tim. Looks like that is a list of the colors that are currently in production; as it is almost 100 colors short of the complete historical list. Also, they seem to match closest to the colors found in the instruction manuals (...) (14 years ago, 29-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yeah the full list is much huger. This is just the ones available at present but it gives an idea of eg. the best colours to focus on for renders and potentially other forms of restriction. Tim (14 years ago, 29-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

Comparing this list to the LDConfig on my machine, there are three new colors: 221 Bright Purple 294 Phosphorous Green 312 Medium Nougat Unless anyone else volunteers, I'll take some time next week to match them to the BrickLink colors. Scott (14 years ago, 29-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Phosphorous Green is Glow-in-the-Dark. It's already noted in the Peeron color chart (far right column for 50 Phosphorous White), but there are at least two distinct GitD colors (noted as opaque and translucent in Bricklink), and I couldn't (...) (14 years ago, 29-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Pretty sure that medium nougat is the middle-eastern skintone from Indiana Jones sets. Bright purple is probably the purple they've settled on to minimise the colour issues (in quite a few sets this year). Tim (14 years ago, 30-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I wonder why that color is called Bright Purple? On Bricklink and elsewhere, it's called Dark Pink. It don't look purple at all. What's the diff between pink and purple? Pink = Red + White. Purple = Red + Blue. The pinks and purples seems to (...) (14 years ago, 30-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Don't burn out your brain trying to figure out how they came up with the official color names. All that is required is to understand that there's some _serious_ disparity between their names and ours. For instance: They call it Brick Yellow. (...) (14 years ago, 30-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's why I went no farther than with the pinks/purples. (...) (snippage) I see 2 possible solutions to this whole mess: 1. Poll/talk with everyone until names we can all agree on are found. 2. Drop names altogether and refer to colors (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Makes sense. That did look like it was a fairly new color, though the first instance I can recall of that color was the natives from the Indiana Jones graveyard set (the one with the new motorcycle fairing) (...) The what now? Which sets would (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If you can get Peeron/LDraw and Bricklink to agree on all color names, even if they don't match the official names, you win a freaking prize. (...) Yeah...it's hard enough for most people to keep track of a lot of the more common colors as it (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)
