Very old topic I know, but here're my comments.
Initially I was stumped as to what to do with the new colors. It didn't make
sense to segregate them totally from the rest of the collection, but I also
didn't want to mix together brick colors that were in actuality different. I
ended up giving them the exact same treatment as the rest of the collection, and
it works well enough; they're assimilated in by type, just like any other part,
except for bricks, which get their own color container.
This is how I sort my collection: all pieces are sorted by type (45 degree
slopes, 45 degree inverted, 1x2 plates, 1x3 plates, are all seperate containers,
and so on) except for the normal bricks. Normal bricks are sorted by color,
except the funky/rare colors all share a bin (dark red, light blue, lime,
orange, etc). What annoys me really is that I need totally new containers for
the three new colors, and I really don't have space for all of these different
types. Right now all of the basic bricks of the new colors are sitting in a
little creater bucket, but soon I'll have to make a spot for their containers.
I actually rather like the new light gray, but it's a shame that it *replaces*
regular old gray!

| 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)
