| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change 6 Part {Trans-Light Blue to Glow In Dark Opaque} 57560pb01 Bionicle Hydruka Back Plate (Morak), Marbled Glow In Dark Pattern
Comments from Submitter:
57560pb01 is listed in the catalogue with a base colour either as "Trans Light-Blue" or "Glow in the dark opaque" Looking at pictures of 8539 I am fairly certain that "Trans Light-Blue" is an error of original submitter.
See https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/c/c3/Nocturn.png/revision/latest?cb=20130727013741
Too ease up on inventories I guess "Glow in dark opaque" could be listed as alternate item

Also this image which clearly shows glow in the dark parts. I will submit a few
more changes if this one comes through.

Really? Why? None of them look particularly off-white with a just a bit of blue
in them. In fact, *all* of the images appear quite bluish with maybe just a bit
of off-white in them. If I was a seller, why would I look at any of these parts
and think they look like anything other than some sort of blue color?

There are several reasons, but the main one is that Glow In Dark Opaque is a
specialty color, and as such, it's the most important color of the two. Now
these parts have a reasonable chance of being found via the color guide instead
of wallowing among 500 parts in Trans-Light Blue:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&colorPart=15&v=3
And photographs don't tell the whole story. In the dark, the blue hues would
definitely take second place.
As for sellers and their choices, one of the things I noticed about the current
listings was a disagreement over the shade of blue. Because of the marbled nature
of the part, there is likely a significant range of color intensity. But like
I mentioned above, I don't think it's good for listings to be split.
If sellers want to give a refined description of the shade of blue in their notes,
that's fine. But to split up the listings means less chance that buyers will
find the part, especially when you consider that the PCC maps only to a single
color.

As a seller who has some of these pieces I agree.
The glow in dark nature of the piece is what defines it and since the blue is
marbled with glow in dark opaque it is definitely not trans light blue.
