Thanks very much!

My constructive criticisms:

(1) The edge lines don't stand out well enough for these colors:
Teal - 3
Brown - 6
Turquoise - 11
Purple - 22
and several other colors could also be improved by more
contrastive edge lines.

(2) The dark transparent blue - 33 is too reddish.
(The main color, not the edge line color which is fine.)

(3) I agree with Jon Kozan that the "tan" (*) looks too dark,
and the default color is closer to the real "tan" (*) color.


(*) I think the word "beige" is more apt.  Does anyone really
think the word "tan" is better for this color?

(...) I had always been planning someday to use the word "beige" instead of "tan" for the tan brick color, until I noticed last week that LEGO calls it "Tan" in the new Holiday S@H catalog. Wow. --Todd (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

(...) You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback. As I noted in reply to Jon, the colors in the colored images came straight out of LDLite. I'll keep your comments, and try to address them in a future revision. Steve (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

(...) I have a friend who insist on referring to the color as 'sand'. It wasn't until the recent catalog came out that she started calling it 'tan'. 'beige'? Nah! I like the other 2 choices better. (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

Steve Bliss has just completed a major facelift of the Partsref interface. I think the results are wonderful! Check it out: (URL) made it easier to browse, easier to look things up by keyword, he gives you cross-links to other reference materials (...)
