Hello all.

I'm stumped with 3 colours from a batch of duplo I got yesterday.

The 2 2x2 (same colour) I think are medium violet
The 2x2 and 2x4 (same colour) I think are violet

The single 2x2 I think is light turquoise

I'm asking for help as these colours are rare and I don't want to list
until I'm sure.

Unfortunately I don't have any of these colours in stock or my collection
so I cannot confirm myself.

Thanks in advance
David

I think you have got the colours right.....

Use BL's colour guide to help you, as I can often cross match colours within
bulk lots with known colours with sets and the like.

Why not create a small colour palette using standard 2x2 bricks (they have the
most colours), and use the official BL colour guide to determine those colours?

I've done the same using 2x4's as I have approx 92 different colours
as 48 of them are 'test bricks' and the like...

Regards,

Paul

Hello Paul

Thank you for your confirmation and suggestion of a colour chart.
Definitely something I am going to do now.

Regards
David

Seems like Medium Violet, Dark Blue-Violet
and Medium Azure to me.
Not Light Turquoise.
Photographing it next to known colors might give more syreity.
