All this color talk has me finally posting something I have been thinking for
awhile:
My biggest problem with the greys and bleys is that it is hard for me to be
consistent when I want to be consistent. If I need, say, eight 1x2 plates in
grey or in bley (in what I do it doesn’t matter the color, as long as they are
the same), I always seem to spend a whole bunch of time trying to find eight
that match. And it is worse with the browns but not as bad with the dark grey.
(Yes, I do suffer from standard male red-green color blindness.)
With a good deal of work, and moving around the room to the window and various
light sources, I can work out which is which, but it takes forever. As such, a
good portion of my collection is rarely used, since it is shades of greys.
So, here’s my idea: special Lego bley goggles. When you put on the goggles, the
filters in the lenses make grey and bley as different as red and yellow. This
certainly has to be possible.
Imagine taking a color specturm picture of each of those colors, one has more
blue certainly than the other. Perhaps if one used a blue filter then old grey
would look blacker than bley then we could tell them apart!
Is there someone out there who could build either goggles or a screen or a lamp
that emits a certain color that one block would reflect and one would not so
that the two colors would look really different?

I agree it can be a pain though and I have been caught out before (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, that's what I got- 'warm white'. They aren't the same color as warm-white incandescents by any means. Those are yellowy, the CF's aren't as yellow. I haven't switched entirely- I bought a pack of them, and I'm replacing bulbs as my (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
