The purple looks like the pastel lavender I get out of Belville
sets, but that pink is a bit odd--if you look at Scala it has
two sorts of pink, and I gather that the Life on Mars pink is
the lighter of these two.

Check this out: I think 7310 has a *white* Star Wars engine...

It's a new cockpit element, I think--perhaps a replacement for
the now-seemingly-defunct multi-bend helicopter canopy.
Have you noticed that a few sets also have the new Statue of
Liberty green? I'm referring to these pastels as 'Lik-M-Aid'
colours, because that's what they all remind me of.

...Perhaps it needs to be in .town (hey now, don't all boo me
at once...) But this is where it definitely belongs (/year/2001/)
and I'd keep it in .space.
