Didn't work that way for Tan... (and I'm still sticking with Teal for the
torquoise green)
As long as we're at it - I've been puzzling over the current Belville Blue -
which looks like Blue-Purple.
There seems to be 3 apporaches to color naming -
1) Name them Light, Dark, Lighter, Darkest - which works well for colors of
the same 'tone'
2) Name them after the dictionary color name - Verdigris, Teal, Tan, Aqua,
Peach, Mauve, Burgundy.... This opens the door for competitive names ... but
it has worked in the past.
3) Name them with a descriptive name tied to the base color. This allows
Light, Dark, etc. It allows such things as Antique Green, and Bright Green.
You can also use such things as Blue-Purple, Blue-Green, etc
We'll probably end up with a hodge-podge of names, but for this one, I'd
glaly support Mossy-Green (as my first preference) and Antique Green (as a
second preference since it will get used on a lot of "new" parts - eg Star Wars)
FWIW - TLG will probably take a big clue from what ever we settle on. They
use numbers as well as names for their colors, so names can switch while the
number remains constant. (Let just call this "47" :-))

| (...) 47 would be an unfortunate choice -- color code 47 in LDraw is Clear. :) Has anyone compiled a list of TLC color numbers? I know they use the color number as part of the part ID, but I've never caught the actual values. Steve (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

| (...) The word "green" should be in the name, I guess Antique Green would be good. (I think I might have been the one that started the thread on "Verdigris".) If people want Verdigris, then I want dark pink to be "Magenta". And that opens up (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
