Hi,
Do the new Friends sets have a "different" dark red, and if so, what is it
called?
The new Friends sets advertised many new colors and I noticed that when I got
3061 (City Park Cafe), it had a different dark red color. It seems to have a
bit more purple in it than the normal dark red. I assumed this was a new color
and have kept these bricks separate (and they are definitely a different shade
than the old dark red, but you must carefully compare them).
Yesterday, I found loads of 2x4x1 bricks at pick-a-brick (Mission Viejo, CA Lego
store) in this new dark red. I tested them and they match the ones from the
Friends sets.
I was looking on bricklink to order more plates to go with them, but to my
dismay, I could not find any color differentiation. I went to bricklink stores
that I new had parted out City Park Cafe's and the plates and tiles from those
sets appeared to be classified as regular "dark red."
Can anyone help? I want to get more plates that match this new color, but don't
know how to specify them on bricklink, etc. I hope that this is not simply a
sudden change in the official "dark red" color.
Brad

I just compared some recently acquired some dark red 1x2 bricks (from the POB wall at Rockefeller Center) with some plates from an older Star Wars set and the color is slightly but noticeably different - the newer bricks have more of a "sand" (...)
