Is it only these three colours that have been introduced?
(Note new Subject: line, I'm hoping to drag folks in). Is
there also a grey-purple, or is that the Scala colour? Have
we got an OFFICIAL listing of all new colours yet, or does it
look like there will be more in later 2001 releases (e.g.
Bionicle)?
I'd be in favour of a 'nomenclatural' method designed to keep
it all orthodox, but *man* is verdigris an excellent name. It
also makes me think of New Orleans...
...You know, where they have that big party at Verdi Gris time...
ahem.
