(...) The newer 'Stone' colors tend to have a more obvious blue component, while the older classic shades of gray tend more towards a yellow shift. For the browns, the original shade is the darker of the two. The new shade of brown has more red. I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) I agree with DkStone<->DkGray and RedBrown<->Brown cases. But I can't make a difference between MdStone and Gray without some serious staring. But I still have them mixed, because I have the parts sorted only by type, I don't have enough space (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

Given that the bleys and chocolate brown are here to stay, what is the best way to sort them into a large collection, whilst still maintaining the ability to distinguish light bley from light grey? I currently sort by type, since up to now it has (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.color)

I've finally found it. (URL) Iris 15-gallon Wing Lid Storage Box, WL-60. I have found this only at Office Depot so far. Iris, a Japanese company, has a near-useless English-language Website[1], so I don't know where else it might be found. (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.space)

The other day I noticed a palette of tubs at a WalMart store. They looked like knockoffs of 3033/4400/etc tubs. The plastic was slightly different, but similar. The label said "RubberMaid RoughNeck 3-gal Container". Original retail was $2.88, but (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)
