Interesting results Dan,
The Peeron inventories are biased towards the more recent sets, right?
This may explain why Mike's red prediction wasn't accepted by your
results. On the other hand, LEGO most likely produces many times the
amount of sets currently then they did in the early years which may mean
your results may be closer to the truth.
I'm not sure if Timothy was asking about elements in general or
specifically bricks. Any chance you could modify your script to spit
out the rankings in categories like bricks, plates, and other? It would
be interesting to see the data parted out amoung themes as well.
Just some ideas.
ps. I made a quick graph of the top 20 colors if anyone wants to see
the data in that format.
