I've done that at home with Todd. Our issue then was about violet vs
purple. Put all the elements on one white plate. But there are many more
now. I'd love to work with you if you would do this. I have official names
for most colors. Over time some get adjusted or use diff type of plastic,
as you say.
In addition to photos, it would be nice to make an HTML table and use
bgcolor for a hue X shade chart. Could indicate w/a symbol colors that
were only used in DUPLO or Fabuland or SCALA, etc. With dates, it could be
very interesting to see things like TECHNIC colors move into SYSTEM. Would
be easy to re-sort the table data for chronology. Hmm, gotta do it!
We could store it in the LUGNET FAQ or Publish area. Any better ideas on
that? Would be a useful reference for everyone. Even if it has three
different names for each color... (I know auctioneers sometimes make up
their own)
If you take some pics, please share! sounds like you have good selection.
