Yes, as we can see Kiddicraft was the pre-cursor to the Lego brick.

Back in 1949-50 they had only 5 colors of Lego bricks, red, white, yellow, light
green, and what can best be described as "peacock blue".  By 1950 TLG was
releasing to their Danish retailers a form of "Pick-A-Brick" at their retail
outlets, and the color range expanded to an additional 5 colors of bricks...
include light blue, blue, dark green, gray and clear.  So by 1951 there were
about 10 Lego colors (and still only 2 brick sizes).

The window/door colors available in the early 1950's were red, white, yellow,
light blue, dark blue and light green.

(...) For those who are interested, Pics of the toy can be seen here: (URL) is also a history of the Lego bricks themselves there. Danny (18 years ago, 24-Aug-06, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
