BO color chart missing a color

budgetkids

I use bricksync and recently uploaded some old Duplo parts, one of which is the color "Dark Yellow". This color is non-existent in the color chart on BO but this color is on the other site.

Bricksync spits out an error stating it failed to translate color code 161 to a BO color code.

Are we able to get this added to the color list?

Thank you,
Chris

This kind of 'issue' came up before, the problem is that these very rare colors do not have a match indeed, but also quite complicated to resolve, because oftenly the BL data differs from the TLG data and has more 'splits' compared to TLG itself... and sometimes just for a couple of parts...

I'm not sure it's wise to start messing with a few extra colorID's just for a few parts, it might be wiser to simply skip these with the ~ tag on BL (it's not like a couple of parts 'not' syncing is going to make a major deal for your store).
But it will be up to Lawrence whether or not he wants to add those in the list of colors

I believe that BL colour is Curry, I've now added in Curry

I see it in the color chart, thank you for addressing that.

BrickSync is still unable to add the part though. I get the same error stated in my OP

Bricksync might need updating as well. Paging @Stragus

It will be cached somewhere, on BO, possibly on BS, so just give it some time.

Stragus

BrickSync doesn't update its color conversion table automatically. It would need a /color_list API call, which requires catalog API access (enabled manually by Lawrence when requested).

Give me a day or two, and I'll upload an update!

Perhaps I should add a feature to periodically grab a cached color table from the website... but it really doesn't change very often.

Can confirm it doesn't change very often, I think the last time was for the agents conductive black
