I don't recognize it as any current color. It looks closest to Salmon but
I don't have any other parts in this color.

I believe it is this color:

I *had* seen it, probably at the same time as the new 2x4 brick with axle holes
and that technic connector block...
But I can't find it so I probably noticed the part when I was looking at
new items pending approval in our catalog...

The "Trans-Purple" star in this photo looks very similar in color to the part
in the image you posted at https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1141237 that
you had changed to "Trans-Light Purple". Are these pieces actually two different
colors? Because they do not look like it from the photos. Could you post a comparison
photo of these two parts side-by-side?
Cheers,
Randy

I am posting the comparison pic that you requested and also a bag of light purple
stars. The problem is that thinner pieces look lighter anyway and thicker look
darker. I would call the ones in the poly on the right all trans-purple. The
lowest star looks lighter, but it is a thinner type of piece and definitely darker
than the ziplock of trans-light purple stars that are the same piece. WIth all
of this laid out, I believe that the 3 Clikits025b that I said were trans-light
are not. They are just really thin trans-purple. Can you fix that from where
you are? I have to go to bed right now.
|
I stayed up late enough to correct (I THINK) my requests concerning the connector.
I do feel strongly corrected that it is regular trans-purple plastic. It is
just very thin. It looks similar to the thicker Trans-light pieces, though.
If I don't go to bed right now, I'm going to get in trouble

See https://flic.kr/p/q3dwkU

Also note that BrickLink's Trans-Purple contains both LEGO 126 Transparent
Bright Bluish Violet and LEGO 236 Transparent Bright Reddish Lilac. Some parts
exist in both colors, and our catalog cannot correctly identify them.
That issue is still on my list of color problems in the BL catalog.

Comments from Submitter:
I have collected up a few of these hearts from different sets. I expected them to be the same, but there are two different shades. This set has the lighter one.
|
The image you submitted to the catalog for Trans-Pink is *very* over-saturated
with color and much more magenta-like. In fact, it looks much more like Trans-Dark
Pink. Are you sure you submitted the right image to the right color? For reference,
see your images below where the first one shows the less magenta-like part labeled
as Trans-Pink and the second one shows the image currently under the color Trans-Pink
in the catalog. Something just does not seem right.
Cheers,
Randy
|
I took another pic and one of the new color and it wasn't any better, but
since you said saturated, I played with a slider called that and I got pics that
look on my screen very like the piece on my desk. I'm uploading them now.
|
Now those images look nice! Yes, images with bright colors can easily become
over-saturated, so sometimes you have to mute them by decreasing the "saturation"
of them to get a color that looks better on a screen interface. I wish mfav was
around right now. I am sure he could give you a fantastic lesson about it.
By the way, LEGO had two different pink colors for these hearts:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-48173
One was LEGO color Transparent Medium Reddish Violet, which is BrickLink Trans-Dark
Pink, and one was LEGO color Transparent Bright Purple, which is BrickLink Trans-Pink.
How's that for figuring this stuff out on your own? 
If you keep looking at that page above, you will also notice they made one in
a color called Transparent Light Green. I think I remember someone discovering
that a couple of days ago. Only problem is, BrickLink does not have a color
for that. You were right, we do need a new color.
Cheers,
Randy

1-3) Thankfully simple.
4-6) My set had 5 polished and 1 frosted, but I believe they are random. There is nothing in the meager instruction to indicate where the 1 frosted one should go.
7-9) My set had 3 polished and 1 frosted, but I believe they are random. There is nothing in the meager instruction to indicate where the 1 frosted one should go.
10-12) Thankfully simple
13-15) My set had 3 polished and 3 frosted, but I believe they are random. There is nothing in the meager instruction to indicate where the where each goes.
16-19) Discussion welcome. This is my best stab. Current inventory has 8 trans-orange and 3 trans light orange all undetermined. Mine had 3 polished in each color and 5 frosted in the trans LIGHT. I can think of other ways to handle this, but this was the simplest.

Thank you for looking into these sets!
Interesting that polished or frosted parts might be random in this set.

I broke a 2x4 brick by accidentally knocking a ziplock bag with a brick off the

There are a few variations of the interior colors.
BrickLink does not separate those variations, so 7049b is correct.

Add the item as a new part.
After the part is approved, request a change to the set inventory.
The stickered item is a counterpart (matched to the corresponding item without

I can make a photo of all your reference colours with added Medium Yellowish

Also, the list only contains known colors for 3001. It is possible that more

color names were known). I do not think the community rejected following LEGO
on new (known) color names.
I do not object to using a shortened version on BrickLink (Coral instead of Vibrant
Coral), but we should not use something completely different.

If anyone knows the hex which properly matches this color, then I could use that
information. The official coral hex doesn't appear to match LEGO renders.
Also, where would you put it on the color guide? Down with the pinks has been
suggested.

They probably use different values for different applications (renders, printed
media etc.)

Sure, why not. It was an easy fix. Some people in the future might not realize
they're gears and think they're flower petals, so now the titles include
both terms.

I don't know what happened here, but the website is responding very slow

The different versions could simply be different cavity positions in the mold.
If those are evenly distributed in the mold, then we could expert to find approximately
equal amounts in sets.

A bit more background information...
I think that there were 5 LEGO system parts with a variation with split tubes:
LEGO experimented with this design with molds made around 1973-1976 (and used
for several years after that). The weight-saving design might be related to rising
cost during the oil crisis, or it could have been inspired by their efforts to
keep Minitalia (1970) cheap to conquer the Italian market. The experiment was
not very successful and LEGO basically reverted to their previous designs (with
a few changes such as the mold pip location).
Currently, none of these 5 part variations have a separate catalog entry
(but maybe they should have....)

Yes, I remember. There's really only one fix for that: someone will have
to buy the books and photograph the bags. These kinds of sets wouldn't appear
in any catalog because the book must be opened to see them. Once we have photos,
then the sets will be quickly approved.
We're moving away from approving any submission which is not accompanied
by an image and I expect that will become firm policy within the next six months
or so.
There are simply too many items in the catalog completely missing images:
3 minifigures
29 sets
106 catalogs
108 books
133 gear
575 parts
|
Of the parts, over 200 of them are from the Modulex Decorated Tile category.
If we can't find images for those and there are no listings or wanted list
entries, I suggest we do a little pruning.
|
Why would you want to do that?
I agree that it would be better to have images, but why would anyone want to
remove information from our database unless the parts do not actually exist?
There are better solutions than deleting items.

It's fairly easy.
For any part that is stickered, you will need to find the numerical identifier
of the last one to be issued, and for that, I use the add an image section to
find it.
Have 3 tabs up,
1st is the catalogue.
2nd is Add an image section
3rd is Add a Part section.
Say that you want to add a stickered 45deg 1x2 slope.
|
This can be done easier using the * search wildcard.
| | Find the highest number of that particular part you can quickly find.
input that number in the add image box, and it should show that part in a description.
Cycle through numbers by 10 until you get an error, and then decrease the numbers
until you then get a description, and you can then increase by 1 to get the next
sequential number.
|
The undecorated slope has part number 3040.
Decorated slopes will have an additional number, all recent numbers will use
pb to indicate the "pattern numbered by BrickLink" like 3040pb000.
Knowing this, I would search the catalog for 3040pb*.
Then imply sort by item number.
That will make it easy to find the highest number currently in the catalog.
A search for that number +1 will show if that part is available, or if a part
with that number is pending approval.
| |
Take a reasonable good picture of the part, preferably in daylight, or under
multiple lights, to eliminate shadows, and resize the pic to a Thumbnail on the
PC. (upload the picture, but don't submit the image yet)
Go to the add part section.
Add the number and identifier to the necessary boxes, along with the dimensions,
weight and such.
Use the same description(s) that other like parts have been added to the catalogue
before, and try to be accurate as possible.
Add the part to the catalogue.
Go back to the image section, and when you click on the verify , it should bring
up the item that you have just submitted, and you can then submit the corresponding
image.
I've done this with some of my mug collection, and will be doing others soon.
Have fun!
Paul

Not so much at the moment. The catalog is open now to Technic figure parts,

If you'd like to do something, help me think up a good, brief descriptor

I think a contributing problem is that Dual-Sided is ambiguous. It could be used
for either. Maybe it should be changed to Dual-Faces.

I will restate that this needs to be done.
Most people probably do not deal much with friends parts.
These are ENTIRELY different parts. THey even have ENTIRELY different part numbers.
The one type of legs are printed.
The other type of legs are dual-molded.
The printed legs look much worse than the dual-molded ones.
This seems more serious to me than some of the other entries with multiple variants.

Please do not ever consider switching to using the official LEGO color names
