The problem is that this is a multilingula company where a large portion
of the people in charge do not speak english as their primary language.
But as long as they are using a companywide system of colour numbers,
the name itself is of no real importance.

Well, maybe "brick yellow" is a straight translation of the original
Danish name? The Danish propably use "beige" for this colour, but "gul
mursten" (literally "yellow brick") does not sound out of place, too,
according to our biped Danish dictionary ;-)
