| Despite only appearing in one set in 2004, at least 23 other parts exist in this
color. Since 2019, 18 of these have been seen, many of which are sourced from
LEGOLAND model shops. In 2023 alone, thousands of plates have been listed as
‘Light Orange’ and ‘Very Light Orange’, despite not being either of those colors.

This color also comes in 3021, 2357, 44237, and 3794a.
The lack of a Warm Yellowish Orange makes it very difficult to know what color
you’re getting from sellers, especially since many of these parts also come in
Scala Light Orange and Very Light Orange, the latter of which is also showing
up at various LEGOLAND PAB walls alongside Warm Yellowish Orange.
is the only production part in this color.
Every part in the aforementioned list has its own element number that can be
added to the site. This color should be added as Warm Yellowish Orange.

If they didn't come from sets, then where did you get the element IDs for
them?

What we call an element number is in fact a factory floor production number,
identifying a unique mold and color (pellet or pigment). If the parts were actually
made, even for the model shop, they should have had a 7-digit number for production
identification. Where an intended color, collides with dye/pigment variations,
is the big question here. Was this an intentional color or was this something
that just happened.
2004 was the moment in time when quite a bit of excess odd and ends were being
flushed to the bonus boxes. Bonus boxes were inventoried based on our best understanding
of what the colors were, but something really beyond normal availability might
have slipped thru with a slightly incorrect color. The bonus boxes also received
some parts, in a few colors, where the color consistency wandered all over the
map (to put it mildly).

This was an intentional colour. LEGO's official colour number and name are
225 Warm Yellowish Orange.

Long ago I suggested we need an official color board, something issued/sold by
TLG. Something that contains one 2x2 tile for each color, with the TLG color
number printed on it in one corner. Something we can turn to as an absolute reference
palette.
One baseplate (a 48x48 could handle 576 reference tiles), and a few bags of tiles
to be applied to the baseplate.

Yes of course, but if you call them and ask for element IDs of parts that have
never been in sets, I imagine you're not going to get very far before the
person on the other end starts wondering why on earth you'd want that information.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen, it just sounds very odd.

This information can be found on other websites. Some CS reps will direct you
to BrickLink, while others will dig through the database for info.

Some are available on Bricks & Pieces if you know how to dig through that, others
were viewable through older versions of Customer Service, though are now inaccessible
through the public view. LDD also has some in it, with questionable accuracy.

| FYI, there have been hundreds of q elements in TLG 225 coming out of Legoland
Florida. Currently, if a brick or plate (aside from 6490, ofc) is correctly
listed as Light Orange, most of the time, it's TLG 225 (especially if the
listing stays up for a while and it's not a 3004 or 3622).
Splitting the colors on bricklink isn't going to keep people from erroneously
listing Medium Orange and Bright Light Orange as Light Orange.
I'd still be more interested in having Light Brown renamed, since it's
a little bit darker than Medium Brown; and renaming it to Bionicle Brown might
actually keep people from incorrectly listing things in that color.
