official color reference?

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.

One of the major problems I see with the new colors is that parts sellers on
places like ebay and Bricklink won't necessarily be using the correct gray
shades, so who knows if you'll be getting new gray or old gray.  It seems that
it would be pretty easy for Lego Direct to produce a "set" of bricks in all
currently available colors, say a 2x4 in each color.  Ideally each would be
printed with the official Lego color number, but even a printed guide sheet
would be fine.  Not only would it ease identifying new gray from old, but also
be useful for differentiating the different blues and greens which always cause
confusion.

This would make ordering bulk pieces from Lego easier too, if they ever expand
their color selection.  And while not solving color naming consistency across
Peeron, Bricklink, LUGNET, etc. it would certainly be a step in the right
direction.

Just a thought, I'd love to hear any reactions.
