Salut Didier, (...) I think they are using different colors for different pins to make building easier, so younger children can do it. And blue for the half-pin seems to be the standard now. Jürgen (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, lugnet.technic)

What is justifying the use of BLUE Technic Pin 1/2 - (URL) ? more precisely in Technic sets such as 8436 Truck ((URL) instead of the good old gray ones (please no "joke" on gray color issue thanks).

Can anyone clarify the color of five 1 x 2 bricks in the 8779 Grand Tournament kit? The peeron inventory shows them as light blue (the same as the 2 x 2 x 3 bricks from 4400). The Bricklink inventory shows them as medium blue. Any clarification is (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Exactly.. as far back as 1999, when I was sorting bricks from 3033's and 2494's I noted that some yellow basic bricks has a very subtle red tinge, where others did not. I just figured that this was an odd red pellet that sneaked into the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.color)

Srtrictly conjecture, but I would think that Lego is going to be quite careful in ensuring consistent colors for their fellow Danes at Maersk. Could be quite embarrasing if they didn't (and the Danes noticed). "Tom Stangl, VFAQman" (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)
