| In order of preference my favourite colours for beams is: White Gray Black blue I dislike red and find yellow is only good for excavators and things coloured yellow. The other colours are so rare as to be rendered useless (green, purple) Now what (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.technic)

I'm sure everyone has their own favourites here - my most frequently used beam colours would be: yellow red black The red and yellow were used because that was the colour of the thing I was modelling, although it could be argued that I chose (...)

| I really like the "black/gray with yellow trim" color scheme used on numerous Technic sets (8082, 8425, 8485, 8838, 8868, 8880, etc.), so my favorite beams are probably the black and gray ones. I have a lot of yellow and red beams (as they are (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)
