Looks good!
BLUE-VIOLET+2: Isn't this used in Belville for base bricks and the fences in
5840 Garden Playmates? I have sometimes called this color lavendar but I don't
know how correct that is.
I have seen one or two parts which I would call GREY-.5 by your scale,
definitely darker than GREY, but not nearly as dark as GREY-1. One of them was
a 1x1 plate w/side clip (and clearly a LEGO logo on the stud, at first I
thought it was a Tyco part, but I keep having this ghosting feeling of such a
mid-grey).
What color is Maersk Blue? It definitely isn't BLUE+1. Is it BLUE-GREEN+1 or
should it show up as BLUE+2?
We definitely need to add the transparent colors and the metalic colors to
this.
It would also be interesting to complete the first appearance in the following
areas:
Scala
Belville
System
Duplo
Technic
Fabuland
(any others?)
Is the pink (NCd) the color of the doors for the old Freestyle 2x4x5 door
system? Actually, I think it may be NCc (in which case that is also a SYSTEM
color). These doors came out of the "for her bucket" (I think this is set
1688).
