I was thinking about Lego colours today (I remember when we documented some
38 of them not long ago), and wondering when the first appearances of many
occurred...especially since the number grew a lot during my Dark Ages.  Here
are a few I'm wondering about:

1.  dark grey -- the swords of early castle lego?  (c. 1985)
2.  brown -- spears and wagon-wheels of early castle lego?  (c. 1985)
3.  gold -- pirate system?  (c. 1989)
4.  orange -- Halloween buckets  (c. 1998)
5.  purple -- Star Wars???  (c. 1999)
6.  transparent grey -- Star Wars (c. 1999)
7.  transparent light blue -- ???
8.  tan -- Adventurers?

(...) And lest we forget the original colors..... Red, white, blue and yellow and clear bricks have been around since the 50's. The first occurrance of gray was the 10x20 gray baseplate in the 50's. But the first occurrance of gray and black bricks (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
