Not all in this shot are "bricks", but I've tried to at least get studs.
Most are on BAYLIT right now.

One of these days I'm going to do such a picture. You're missing at
least two colors I know of, a light pink and a purple/magenta. There are
probably a few other colors you're missing (Scala has a lot of
non-standard colors).

Light Pink? What set(s)?
I've actually run across 2 shades of pink for the same part in different
copies of the same set- could have been US vs. European manufacture.

Now that I've reminded myself where it came from the pink I'm thinking
of is actually a medium pink, the dark pink in set 1688 of which
pictures can be found in this eBay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=551835962

is not the same dark pink as in Belville, it's a bit lighter. I have
doors from this set from several different used parts lots and they're
all the same shade, so I don't think it's a case of fading or anything
(also Suz's color chart at http://www.baseplate.com/colors/ references
it).

OK, huh! I do have some of those (just not for sale :-) - but I don't think
they've made a studded part in that 'medium' pink. (brick/plate)

Now, where was this purple/magenta you're thinking of?

The table top in 3159. It doesn't match any of the purple/magentas that
I remember from other sets. Also seen in this picture:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=9626

The magenta angled beam is from one of the cyberslam sets.

Like I say, I need to do a similar thing to what you've done because
I've got a bunch of unusual colors. One of the few colors I don't have
is Maersk blue (I'll need to borrow Mike Walsh's Maersk Truck to do my
color scale). I've got a bunch of the Scala sets and most of the
Belville sets.
