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)

Hairs of "bendyarm" people, 1974?

3.  gold -- pirate system?  (c. 1989)
4.  orange -- Halloween buckets  (c. 1998)

(...) Ice Planet? (...) M:Tron? (fairly sure about this, but who knows, I just remember thinking that they were "glow-in-the-dark" due to the "glow" effect on the box photos). (24 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
