I have a finished rough draft of an element color chart:

Interesting to see how much order there can be to what was (to me)
seeming like a jumble of new colors.

Agreed!  The order of the colours are really impressive.  Good work.

I think the colour chart would be even more useful if you could
provide a small example picture of a part for each colour.  For
"Orange -2", you could have a scanned 1x2 brown plate, for
"Yellow-Green 0" you could have a small scanned technic element from
the Swamp Roboraider, for example, and so on.  With no examples to
look at, it is a bit hard to understand where the different colours
are used.

Oh I totally agree. I hoped that other folks could help with this. But I'm not
sure if it should be photo'd all under same conditions. I have all but two in
that chart..  Let's say: if anyone has those sorts of pictures laying about
already, I'd love to incorporate them.

Since some of the Scala colors are very close (just last night I was looking
at two of the Scala oranges, and noticed how close they were), it would be
best for the pictures to be taken under the same conditions. Of course that
could be hard to do if someone doesn't have all the parts (fortunately the
colors are far enough apart that you probably don't have to worry about the
differences which could crop up from automated exposure controls etc.).

Todd agreed to hosting this chart under lugnet.faq. Ultimately, I bet it'd be
possible to fill a whole screen with surprising info about some colors alone.
original release dates, example pics, set appearances, etc.

Sounds like we're off to a great start. I'm glad someone finally got off their
duff and started documenting this. I keep thinking about it, and getting
distracted by other projects.
