Keep in mind that the numbers above are the number of different *sets* which
contain that color. I just looked at a small one ('Dark Tan') which shows as '7'
usages. Looking at the individual inventories, I find 9 unique parts. So take
the BL numbers with a grain of salt. They are not telling you the number of
unique parts in that color. Most cases if will be more and in some cases it
might be less.
