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)

Some promo Soccer player jersies were orange.  I think
they were early 98.

5.  purple -- Star Wars???  (c. 1999)

Giant Model Set (c. 1997),

5a.  teal -- CyberSlam (c. 1998)

6.  transparent grey -- Star Wars (c. 1999)

And Throwbots (which may have technically been available before SW,
I can't recall)

7.  transparent light blue -- ???
8.  tan -- Adventurers?


And, if we include Belleville/Scala, then these dates might be all
wrong anyway :)

(...) Nope. Wrong. Trans grey appeared in the radio controll car set. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
