Could Metallic Dark Green 186 be added to the color list too?

Brick-Cat

Hi me again
as per my post yesterday with Pearl red i have noticed in my sorting out of bionicle parts,that the same three bionicle parts come in this pearl green color.
Just wondering if this too could be added to the color list.

Lawrence

Would you be able to post an image of them similar to before?

pippyblocks

Here's the images and colours you have found, but you'll find these are mostly refered to by their base colours, i.e. red, green, black, white and blue. Bionicle always had these quirky colours.

Brick-Cat

Will photo separately too

Brick-Cat

Pippyblocks you are a star! thanks for those

Anytime, I'd seriously recommed getting a copy of The Unoffical Lego Color Guide by Christoph Bartneck, especially if your a bit of a colour fanatic like me

MinifigMan

I like the guide's information and the effort. But the color accuracy on the photo's is terrible.

Calibrick

@MinifigMan, I'd note in some instances the color/images come direct from LEGO (which are rendered images) - and yeah, those are not always showing reality. But the great thing is here we can replace those with our own images, we just have to submit them (and you get points for that here <s>).

MinifigMan

I don't mean here of course, but the photo's in the book by Bartneck. I don't know if it's printing quality or color grading with the photo's themselves, but it doesn't look at all like the color on the bricks.

Calibrick

Oops, mea culpa, MinifigMan!

Lawrence

Thank you for the images, I believe the colours have now been updated correctly. We have added Pearl Dark Green, Pearl Black and Pearl Blue. Pearl Red was created last week and Pearl White already existed as Pearlescent which we have now renamed.

Brick-Cat

Thanks again,Lawrence

Calibrick

A reminder to all sellers that stock these - we all need to change our inventories to move these pats from their original colors to the new colors for sale. :-)

@lawrence, do we need to update the set inventories that have these colors, or was the system able to do that?

Lawrence

Unfortunately there isn’t anything automated to handle this, I only created the new colors

Calibrick

I will take care of this today (for the catalog part), folks - just a heads-up so we avoid duplicative work. :-)

Brick-Cat

Thanks for the help Calibrick

Calibrick

It looks like one set was updated already (thanks whoever that was! <s>) - I submitted updates for the rest of the Pearl Red and Pearl Green catalog items.

We just all have to remember to update our store inventories if we stock these. ;-)

Nice job optimizing the BO catalog with the inputs, @brick-cat!!

Brick-Cat

Rummaging around in my bionicle pile i have just found another color of Bionicle Foot (44138)-Metallic Earth Orange 187,that is not on the color list.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record,could this be added too?
Have also noticed that flat dark gold lego id 187 should be 147?

Lawrence

Alright, in that case I've ordered "The Unoffical Lego Color Guide" and will see what other Bionicle colors there are and get those added

Brick-Cat

Thanks again Lawrence

Hoddie

That book has several errors, at least the first edition did. Tread carefully.

Lawrence

@Hoddie Yep understood, I will use it as another source of information, just as unreliable as the rest

Lawrence

I have since added "Pearl Brown" as a new colour for the Lego color "Metallic Earth Orange"
