    New container ship color Jake McKee
   Well, it took a bit longer to get the final results tallied that I expected (summer vacations and all). But I'm pleased to announce that the color chosen for the new container ship is...drum roll please.... Dark Blue That's right. They were neck and (...)

        Re: New container ship color —Mark de Kock
     (...) Jake, thanks for the post - this question has been on my mind ever since june 10th :-) Even though I voted for Dark Green, I'll order at least one Dark Blue ship. Perhaps next year we'll see the Dark Green one? I bet you can sell a lot of (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
   
        Re: New container ship color —William R. Ward
     (...) Yay!!!! A good source of a rare color! As I understand it, what you called Dark Green in the poll was actually just the ordinary Green, right? --Bill. (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

         Re: New container ship color —John Gerlach
     (...) Dark Green as in the color of the Gary Payton (Seattle) basketball minifig, dark green as in the links in the "Team Spirit" watch, dark green as in a few new Bionicle sets. Dark green as in (URL) the Empire Builder>... Someone was thinking of (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
    
         Re: New container ship color —David Laswell
     (...) Yeah, that's officially called Earth Green. Dark Green is the official name of the "basic" green used for the 32x32 baseplates and Forestmen outfits. (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
    
         Re: New container ship color —John Gerlach
     (...) Silly me, thinking the darker green would be called 'dark green', especially since that was the way the survey was worded... <grin> I just can't even begin to keep track of all these color names! JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

        Re: New container ship color —Alfred Speredelozzi
     Nooo...ooo!!!!!! Ok, I am really not upset or anything, but I was really rooting for dark green. Especially since my wife told me that if it were green (her favorite color) then I would have to buy it! This was fun, and I appreciate that Lego came (...)

        Re: New container ship color —John Gerlach
     (...) <grumpy old man rant> Bah! Dark Blue is already available in about a zillion sets, dark green is only available in a couple of pieces. What were you dark blue voters thinking? </grumpy old man rant> I'm still hoping for dark green bricks, I've (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
    
         Re: New container ship color —David Eaton
      (...) Actually, that's precisely why I voted for dark blue! :) I've got a bit of dark blue, but I don't think I even own any dark green at all-- I'd rather bolster the strength of an already limited color rather than start working on a whole new one (...)

           Re: New container ship color —Scott Lyttle
        (...) Jake, I agree, I love working for the company as well--I wonder how much bad kharma I've had for it to balance out with my training job!

          Re: New container ship color —William R. Ward
      (...) Jake, Now I'm confused again. Can you please clear up the confusion about Dark Green? Is it really a dark green or is it ordinary green (as in the baseplates)? I thought it was the latter, but given the above now I am wondiering if it was the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

          Re: New container ship color Jake McKee
      (...) Not sure how I confused things by that note, but I apologize. As has been mentioned a number of times, "dark green" in this vote was/is the new dark green color that fits in the same range as the new dark red and dark blue. This new green is (...)

          Re: New container ship color —Ray Sanders
      (...) Hi Jake, I think the confusion stems from the fact that you used 'Dark Green' to describe the darker (and newer) shade of green from TLC, while recent S@H catalogs have used 'Dark Green' to describe traditional (and ordinary) green. The S@H (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

        Container Ship Tower Color? Was: New container ship color —Joseph Woolley
     (...) Dark Blue cool! I wonder if they will change the color of the ships tower? It would be nice to have the control tower windows in another color as well... and the glass... will it be different? (oh, the suspense) // Joe (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)  
    
         Re: Container Ship Tower Color? Was: New container ship color Jake McKee

        Re: New container ship color —Jan-Albert van Ree
     (...) Now that Dark Blue is appearing more and more, can we expect to see more Darkblue parts in the "normal" shapes too, such as the 1*n bricks, 1*n and 2*n plates and some slopes? I've got several idea's for Darkblue but I'd need more than the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)
   
        Re: New container ship color —Saso Tomat

        Re: New container ship color —Manfred Moolhuysen
