| (...) Actually, that's precisely why I voted for dark blue! :) I've got a bit of dark blue, but I don't think I even own any dark green at all-- I'd rather bolster the strength of an already limited color rather than start working on a whole new one (...)

What were you dark blue voters thinking? </grumpy old man rant> I'm still hoping for dark green bricks, I've (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

| Nooo...ooo!!!!!! Ok, I am really not upset or anything, but I was really rooting for dark green. Especially since my wife told me that if it were green (her favorite color) then I would have to buy it! This was fun, and I appreciate that Lego came (...)

| (...) Jake, thanks for the post - this question has been on my mind ever since june 10th :-) Even though I voted for Dark Green, I'll order at least one Dark Blue ship. Perhaps next year we'll see the Dark Green one? I bet you can sell a lot of (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

But I'm pleased to announce that the color chosen for the new container ship is...drum roll please.... Dark Blue That's right. They were neck and (...)

Corey, I think that any discussion of new colors has been overshadowed by the replacement color ordeal, the hype that has followed that, and the fact that many of the Knight Buses have tonal variations among same parts. I have always looked (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
| | | | | Lilac or Dark Purple?
|
| I expected the new big and mini Knight Buses to be purple, but I noticed the color doesn't match any other color I have. Looking on Peeron, it is listed as Lilac. On Bricklink it is listed as Dark Purple. Is this a new color? Seems like there (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Color Names

| (...) That sorta gets tricky marketing-wise. If you have a color called "Red", then change it just slightly, forever-after calling it "Apple Red", I'd think newcomers would start to be confused. IE "What's this stone color? Is it grey? I want grey (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
| | | | | Re: Color Names
|
| (...) I don't think I follow your point. LDraw/Peeron are (almost) synchronized in terms of parts. They're somewhat synchronized on colors and try to be. Bricklink uses (from my point of view) incompatible part names and incompatible color names. If (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

I've been working on such a cross reference myself (see also my recent post in lugnet.general) and at this moment I have a simple excel sheet which list all BL, Peeron and LEGO names and the ones I was able to match, are matched.

I think if the sites are truly going to work with each other then they all need an equal say - if not it is more 'including' than 'working with'. And there is a large difference (...)
