Thanks, Andrew!

As for the dark red-- Bricklink (took a while, and it wasn't cheap either!)

All of the sand green from both buildings was taken from 1 statue of liberty
set.

Suffice it to say regarding the Maersk blue that I was in the right place at
the right time to get it-- it was totally by chance and a one time deal.  I
have heard that the color is barred from sale by TLC because of contractual
agreements with Maersk, but I don't know that for sure, and for that reason
I'll decline to elaborate.  I did get it legally though:-)
