Can LEGO Shop at Home sell a parts pack that includes just one brick of each
color produced that year.  Perhaps a 1x2 or 2x4 brick.  Either would be fine
with me.  Ideally, it would be nice if they created some sort of color key that
identified each number to a color they sent out, but that would be extra.  I'd
suggest no use of descriptors for the colors since these may not translate well
from language to language or between markets.  Let each market come up with
their own descriptive of each color.

I really like this idea, and would love to see it happen. I'd buy some, if it
were priced reasonably (say $10-$12 for a 100-item package).

To help determine which color is which, without getting into naming colors, an
alteration might be something like this: say there are 6 different shades of
medium blue. Create a 1x2 in the lightest of that hue, 1x3 in the next darkest,
1x4 in the next, 2x2 in the next, 2x3 in the next, and 2x4 in the next, and so
on.

Obviously there's a bit more logistics involved, but it would help with
differentiation of shades, as long as all packs used the same color/size scheme.
