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 former after all.

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 best thought of as “forest green” and is not the standard green, or the green used in the foliage pieces.

It is the green used here (set 4752 - the Professor Lupin minifig).

Or in the Toa here (Bionicle set 8605).

Or in the minifig on the far left (From set 3562)


Hope this helps clear this up.

Jake

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 web site currently uses ‘Green’ for traditional green, but a recent catalog (I’m looking at Late Spring 2004) still uses ‘Dark Green’ to describe traditional green. See the bulk brick offerings on page 16. The bricks are described as ‘Dark Green’ while the plates are ‘Green’. With conflicting usages from TLC/LD/S@H confusion can happen quite easily.
