I'd more expect 1x2 bricks

I reckon its the 2x1 grille tile. I have examples in 18 colours:

Black
Dark Grey
Grey
White

Tan
Brown
Gold
Silver

-2 for 1x2 bricks (gold, silver)

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Teal
Blue
Purple

-2 for 1x2 bricks (teal, purple)

Trans red
Trans flourescent green
Trans flourescent orange

-1 for 1x2 bricks (trans flourescent green)

Trans green
Trans blue
Trans yellow
Clear
Trans pink

Anyone got any pink ones?

Light green
Light pink
Dark pink

Looks like 21, to the grille tiles 18

There is a technical problem with this list... The transparent 1x2
bricks are different parts from the normal 1x2 bricks.

If we switch to 1x1 bricks, we lose the trans flourescent orange and
perhaps the light and dark pink (is there a teal 1x1 brick?)

Other colors which exist which I haven't seen 1x2 bricks in:

Light yellow (cream)
Trans purple
Trans light blue
Trans grey
Light purple
New Belville light blue
Light blue (Maersk)
Trans sparkle pink
Medium purple
Bright green
Various Scala colors

Also:

Blue chrome
Green chrome
Trans sparkle purple

Usually I would agree with the statement that there are 2 different
types of 1x2 bricks.  But the clear bricks have undergone so many
different metamorphosis over the last 40 years (there was even a long
period when they had the same posts underneath, and hence were the same
as the non-clear 1x2's), that I think that we can keep them itemized as
one piece, even though they are structurally slightly different.  After
all they are still 1x2 bricks.
