Just a short note to mention that we have changed the color name for Satin
White
to Satin Trans-Clear. When the color was first named, the only
available parts were very small and the transparency level was difficult to perceive.
With the advent of larger parts in that color such as:
 
Part No: 80336  Name: Mini Doll Skirt Long Full Octagonal (Diamond Dress Container Bottom)
* 
80336 Mini Doll Skirt Long Full Octagonal (Diamond Dress Container Bottom)
Parts: Mini Doll, Body Part {Satin Trans-Clear}
the transparent nature of the color is more easily observed.

The name is already changed in the root catalog. Color names on catalog detail
pages and storefronts should be changed during nightly maintenance.

I would really hate it if I bought material called white and only discovered
it to be transparent after I made a skirt out of it.

I think that this color change does not fit all parts, because now the key chain
should be trans-clear, but it is guaranteed not.

Yeah, that is probably a separate color.

I believe this part uses an ink coating called Rainbow Shimmer Ink. There’s a
hair piece and another 2x4 brick that also uses it.

Yes, those parts have an iridescence that lends more to the "Opal" term:

Hi, sorry to dig up an old thread, but the blue iridescent one I have is definitely
not Bright Light Blue, the coating is put on a Medium Blue brick. All pics I
can find seem to be Medium Blue as well, they do not get brighter or lighter
by the coating.

I propose a name change for this gear (Key Chain 853993)
from
2 x 4 Brick - Bright Light Blue with Iridescent Coating Key Chain
to
2 x 4 Brick - Medium Blue with Iridescent Coating Key Chain

Thanks

I agree. It is definitely darker than Sweet Mayhem's hair piece which really
is Bright Light Blue. I have updated the item name.

That one should not have been changed. I have updated the name to be much closer
to what it is.

Cheers,
