They all look the same colour to me. Minor variations, sure, but any given piece I'd say is bright light yellow, and I can't see a distinct enough difference between any two to counter my instincts.

It's certainly not light yellow. That would be far more immediately obvious.

Appreciate all the input! Seems like just color variation. I did discover I have been mixing Yellowish Green with Bright Light Yellow in my current build while trying to figure this out, hah. May be time to check out those colorblindness correction glasses. Thanks again!

but I am pretty colorblind so that always throws a wrench into identifying colors

Heehee - me too! I am seriously colorblind, so all I see in your photograph are three different colors: There seems to be green (top right), gray (right) - and well - some shade of yellow :pir-laugh:

I gave up on identifying any colors other than the "real" black, blue, green, red, yellow, light gray, light bluish gray, dark gray, dark bluish gray, and taataaa "white". The latter comes in a broad variety of "yellowed" states - which simply means: Could be white. 

I also decided that this makes my life much easier: There are apparently some issues TLG and other companies have with producing stuff with the same color in the same color. I don't believe in these rumors :pir-huzzah2:

Best,
Thorsten

I think that's dark tan...?
[edit] Oh sorry, I actually read too quick and missed the part where you said you're colorblind.

As for the yellow, to me they mostly look the same aside from very minimal color variation.

I am back with some more shocking discoveries, LOL.

I noticed there are darker and lighter versions of Trans-Dark Pink and Trans Orange.  The difference is small but I swear I can see it.  While scrutinizing these bricks I noticed that they are also different molds.  There exist a thicker and a thinner stud-top.  In other words the area that carries the LEGO logo.  The difference is HUUGE, anout twice (or half) the thickness between the variations.  I thought maybe that causes the difference in the hue but to my surprise, while it is the case with the Trans Orange (i.e. the ticker one is also the darker one), it is just the opposite with the Trans-Dark Pink part.  The thinner version is the darker one, and the thicker version is the lighter one.

So unless these are in fact different colors, which is not the case according to BrickLink, I consider these color mixing inconsistencies during manufacturing.  The change in the thickness of the stud-top is deliberate, I would think.

I'm having difficulty identifying this head.  It's the "blocked stud" mold version, two faces.

Anyone recognise these bits from a big box of Lego? I'm pretty sure the yellow cab is MOC. The red chassis looks like it wants to be a series Land Rover.

All help gratefully received.

The yellow cab looks like it has dark bluish gray cylinders, which I don't think match the era the hinged roof pieces were used.  1589/1590 do seem to have the yellow parts needed to build that, though more likely it's from a mix of sets.

@StereoGood spot, I didnt even notice that the yellow bonnet was in fact another roof! 1590 would be nice to find.

I'm told the Lego was at least two generations so it could easily be sets from the eighties and the noughties.

I got a box of lego, no instructions, some parts were put together, it could be just for fun or an indication to a set. Can someone identify or recognize?

The light grey wedges appear to be a quarter of the roof from this Hagrid's Hut https://rebrickable.com/sets/4738-1/hagrids-hut/

The bottom left seems to be the center gun of https://rebrickable.com/sets/7959-1/geonosian-starfighter/, maybe also the 3x12 dark bluish grey wedges.

The second picture's the front skids of this https://rebrickable.com/sets/7748-1/corporate-alliance-tank-droid/

The boat pieces are rare to have 4x black, they don't look to be built as either of the sets but maybe you can figure out which is more likely the source. I'd guess set 5956.

Wow, thanks! Looking good! Have some more stuff from Hagrid´s Hut, Geonosian and the Tank.

And the four boat parts belong to 6057. It is wrongly built, but I will correct it :)

Bottom right and top left, still no clue.

7049 for the top left, the lime jumpers might also be part of it but I'd need to see which mold variation those (and the 1x2 triple wedge in pearl gold) are to be able to search for them.  Bottom right also has a bunch of parts with variants (1x2 technic brick with axle hole, 1x2 panel trans-light blue, is it a black chair) that make it harder to search for.  And I don't recognize the grey tube piece, is it a 1x1x6 column sideways?

7049 should be correct. The two lime jumpers should been for this set. Dont know why they were placed with a golden brick. Didn´t find anything like this combination (lime jumper & gold 2x2 brick).

Bottom right and the two others left; I made a new picture. Yes it is a black chair und a support pillar.

I think the white assembly's probably not a Lego set, they don't really attach studs onto axles (axle-pin?) like that.

Posted (edited)

Yeah, I dissambled it. At the bottom there was a 2x2 jumper, the pillar was connected with a 3L technic, which doesnt even fit into the pillar bottom. So clearly some custom illegal build :D

Thank you!

The other builds, no clue?

I looked them up, the wall seems to be part of Hagrid's Hut (maybe rebuilt, as I didn't see it anywhere on the actual build) and the other one doesn't match any sets I could find.
