Probably. . .TLC seems to come out with new colors all the time, and very few people have enough variety of sets to make detailed comparisons (especially since so many obscure colors seem to appear in Scala and Belville). Color charts have been done before, but it would be helpful to have a global chart. Ideally, it would be as organized and coherent as the Baseplate chart http://www.baseplate.com/colors/ with pictures like the BrickLink chart http://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp only with uniform pictures taken by the same camera in the same lighting with a neutral background, and with (perhaps hidden) translating features like the Peeron chart http://www.peeron.com/inv/colors Then, once people had agreed as to completeness and accuracy (and to names, or at least how to translate names between systems) someone would have to clear up exactly which colors go in which inventories, and someone would have to take responsibility for maintaining the chart as TLC makes ever more colors. I think it would be a very useful project for the community. . .

(...) Well, what would Peeron cal the light blue in this set: (URL) (the rounded bricks in the back) I think the colors Peeron uses are not 100% accurate, or up-to-date.
