| (...) IIRC, there was some speculation about the material used for the tires, which seemed less "rubbery" in 8455 than similar tires in previous sets. Dave (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) A number of years back (4 maybe), I was sorting some basic bricks from 3033 tubs and I noticed the different subtle shades of yellow. Certain bricks seemed to be more primary yellow (whatever that is) and some seemed to be slightly more red. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| Try putting the pneumatic airtank next to another blue brick and see what happens :) Did not someone report that the hubs in that set appeared to be made out of some other plastic then ABS? (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
| | | | | Re: Yellow blues...
|
| (...) There have always been some variation in colors. I have seen several hues of standard red, yellow, blue and white in new sets. Sofar it has meant nothing! Martin (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Yellow blues...
|
| (...) I don't think it is the case here, since two different kind of parts have exactly the same hue. And with a dirty nozzle you usually don't get an homogeneous color. Here parts have a very nice yellow color - but different from other parts in (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
| | | | | Re: Yellow blues...

| (...) Wow. Yellow? I will be interested whether this is just another dirty nozzle or consistent new hue. Dirty nozzle means not pure yellow--my yellows are greenish, like they were made immediately after a blue run. Two bad shades came in the same (...)

| | | | | Re: official color reference?
|
| (...) Right, those references are great. I just thought it would be ideal to have an actual physical color reference, in ABS, like I'm sure the master builders have. It's something I would find awefully handy, but maybe others wouldn't. (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| With all this talk about new colors and the recent release of the official color palette from Lego now seems to be a perfect opportunity for Lego to release an official color reference.
