Frictionless Axle pins were grey, Axle pins with friction were black. Easily distinguishable, neutral (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.lego, FTX)

And I don't know if white 2L(*) would be any better than red, from a standing-out point of view. So, maybe Light Bley for friction axle pins, and Tan (...)

| | | | (...) Hmm. That would seem to imply that a 1x3 thin liftarm is, indeed, 3M long. Yes, "M" is defined as the distance between two hole centers, but the length of the piece can be cleanly read off the graph behind it - 3M. (18 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.technic)
