Assuming that "light" colors are pretty much pastels, this list gives about 12 pastels, 9 transparents, 3 bizzaros (chrome/glow-in-the-dark), 6 sands, and 25 solids for 55 total. 1 Light Red (pinkish) 2 Red 3 Dark Red 4 Light Orange 5 Orange 6 Dark Orange 7 Light Yellow (maybe cake yellow) 8 Yellow 9 Dark Yellow 10 Light Green 11 Green 12 Dark Green 13 Light Blue 14 Blue 15 Dark Blue 16 Light Purple (pinkish) 17 Purple 18 Dark Purple 19 White 20 Light Grey 21 Grey 22 Dark Grey 23 Black 24 Light Brown (beige/tan) 25 Brown 26 Dark Brown 27 Trans-Red 28 Trans-Orange 29 Trans-Yellow 30 Trans-Green 31 Trans-Blue 32 Trans-Purple 33 Trans-Clear 34 Trans-Smoke 35 Trans-Blue-Tint 36 Sand Red 37 Sand Orange 38 Sand Yellow 39 Sand Green 40 Sand Blue 41 Sand Purple 42 Pastel Red (more true pink) 43 Pastel Orange 44 Pastel Yellow (that cake yellow maybe) 45 Pastel Green 46 Pastel Blue 47 Pastel Purple (also pinkish) 48 Glow In The Dark 49 Skin Tone (blech, but yeah, ok, I know they want to) 50 Teal (I suppose, but I don't really care) 51 Light Metallic 52 Metallic 53 Dark Metallic 54 Chrome Silver 55 Chrome Gold > The following is just my personal opinion, but why wouldn't the following > color list satisfy both boys and girls? I'd guess that they wanted more pastels and light colors, as well as (probably) some more things we couldn't care less about like odd flesh tones, burnt orange, blueish-purple, the reddish-violet, etc, etc. Dunno about colors with glitter in them, either... Makes me wish I could see the full 100+ palette in person to see what looks completely redundant. DaveE

106 colors before the reduction? 56 colors after? I'm baffled. Clearly, I haven't seen most of these colors. I can't see how it would be necessary to carry even 56 colors. The following is just my personal opinion, but why wouldn't the following (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)
