I've been thinking about making a LEGO color chart by picking pieces in all
the colors (I think I have all of them except Maersk blue - and I could borrow
that). Of course it would take some work to make sure the color reproduction
is fairly accurate (I'd do this just as an on-line deal), but so long as a
single photo is taken of all the colors, it should be possible to see most of
the distinctions (though there are a few colors which are just off [but more
off than the difference between an ABS part in a color, and a part in the
softer plastic often used for minifig accessories and for folliage]).
