It looks great.

Here are a few hints on the Danish translation:

Dark = Mørk, just loose the e

Light = Lys, when speaking of colors or illumination, you should use Lys.
Let is when you speak of the weight of things.

Medium = Medium, Midte means the middle of something physical

Tan = Beige

Flesh = can be discussed, but I suggest: Hudfarvet (same word as in German)

Swamp Green = can be dicussed, but I suggest the direct translation: Sump Grøn

Green = Grøn, you are just missing a n

Lime = Lime. I don't know where you have gotten lind from

Turquoise = Turkis

Teal = can be discussed, but I suggest: Grønlig Turkis (same as the german
words meaning greenish turquoise)

Aqua = Vand

Glow in the dark = Lyser i mørke. Ild means fire

Chrome = Chrom, as in Chrome Bronze, Chrome Blue and Chrome Green. Sten
means stone

Purple = Lilla

Violet = Violet, Viol is the flower

Magenta = Magenta

Pink = Rosa, the e should be an a

Trans-Purple Glitter = Transparent Lilla med Glimmer (med means with)

Trans-Dark Pink Glitter = Transparent Mørk Rosa med Glimmer

Old Trans- White (Clear) = Gammel Transparant Hvid (klar)

Metallic = Metallic

Milky White = Mælke Hvid, just add an e

I think that sums it up.

I've added a translations page to my Color Tree. It provideds translations
of the color names used into German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Danish.
Here's the link:

Clicking on any of the names on the left will take you to the Roots section
of the main page. There you will find cross links to items for sale on
Bricklink, items inventoried on Peeron, Themes & Sets featuring the color,
and, coming soon, Notes pages with much more detail on the history of the color.

As will all my projects, this one is still growing. I appreciate any help,
suggestions, or corrections. I speak none of the languages fluently, so I'm
sure some of the translations may be improved. My thanks to all of the
people that have helped me so far, including TWS for the original
suggestion, and my friends on 1000steine.de who suggested & helped the
translate page.

XP to translated newsgroups, please re-set follow-ups accordingly.

Hope this helps,
Clark

Martin, Thanks for the corrections. I primarily used online translating dictionaries, so I missed some of the context. I do have one question. If Lys is Light, what would be a good word for Bright, as in Bright Green? In case you don't know what I'm (...) (22 years ago, 14-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.dk)
