[...] 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.

Maybe I'll try it over the weekend. I may even do a bit of associated
detective work to find the part which is available in the most different
colors.

Whoah! that sounds like a challenge. good luck :-)

I hopefully can get good pictures. I have a slave flash which I have
made good use of with the digital camera to get plenty of light on the
subject and it avoids a lot of the flash reflection. Of course if
there's a nice sunny day this weekend, I can take a picture under
natural light also.

What other people will need to contribute is first occurence(s) of each
color.

Yes. and that's a tricky one because of things like Fabuland. Some colors were
there first. For someone like me, I only see them in catalog pictures (at best).

help will be needed for sure. but sounds like fun.
