No, the Purple in the Belville set I was refering to is the same as the
McDonalds Set Purple. You called it Indigo above.

You can add a Trans-Pink to your Transparent colors list. This is also
found in the Princess Rosaline Belville sets.

This is actually a very light purple. I call it Pastel Purple.

I can confirm this one for you. It is a much lighter, less intense yellow.
Again, in my parts inventories, I refer to it as Pastel Yellow.
And then (not that it matters, but...) to be consistent, I call what your
refering to as 'very light paradisa green', Pastel Green. Just my
convention. But it gives you an idea of the intensity of the colors. They
are very muted.

The feet of the Belville figures are 1x2 'stud receptors', and their hands
hold the same size rods that regular Minifigs do. But their hands don't work
as studs, like a minifigs hand does.

I don't think its obsolete. I'm pretty sure I've gotten some recent stuff
with Trans-Yellow. Based on a catalog pic, it looks like the Model Team
Diesel Rig 5563, comes with several 1x1 round plates that are Trans-Yellow
(at least they look Trans-Yellow and not the Trans-Yellow-Green/Neon color
to me).

| Lot's of responses to this. Based on everyone's comments and a couple of other things I remembered, I've revised the list. New list follows, with some comments inline and other comments following... We're now on 35 colours - close to the 41 someone (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
