(...) Why would you want to guess? Go to Clark's Color Tree Roots page: (URL) search the page for color 232 in the "Lego Name & Number" column. That gives you a one-row cross-reference between LEGO, Bricklink, Peeron, and LDraw. What more could you (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) The plates (and the sink) are color 232 Dove Blue, the same color as Greedo's legs. How that syncs up with Peeron's and Bricklinks's color charts is anyone's guess. (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

Does anyone happen to know what color the plates are in the Belville # 5943 Designer Interior set are? From the catalog I can't tell whether they are turquoise, light blue or other? There doesn't seem to be an inventory available yet. Thanks. (20 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.belville)
