Lego colors - coming and going

[notabrick614]

Color 369 is called 'Light Block. White'. I have absolutely no idea where this has been/is being used, but it's definitely among the more interesting names out there. Still very excited to see if we'll end up getting bricks in Medium Tan and Medium Brown!

I always try to think which colour shades are still not covered by Lego but we are extremely spoilt these days (I go back to the days when green and brown bricks were pretty rare). I love the feeling of opening a new set and seeing a new colour I don’t have. Does anybody know which piece has been made with the most different colours. I’d love to see people post a spectrum of all the 1x2 plates available.

Bricklink indicates white by a wide margin: Colour Guide

Edit: Sorry, misunderstood, thought you were asking the most common colour

Brickset had an article about that last year:

The accolade of part produced in the most colours, then, goes to the humble 1x2 brick and 2x4 plate. If the 15 colours that the pillarless transparent version has been produced in are also taken into account, the 1x2 brick wins hands-down.

Thanks @cimddwc, I hadn’t seen that. Now trying to see what all those colours are and how many I still need!

Medium Brown definitely seems to be making a comeback. Check out Priyanka in the high quality images for 41699 and 41718. Nougat and medium nougat are clearly displayed close to her in next sets and they don’t match her skin tone!

The new skin tone/ brown-ish color can also be clearly seen in the Elvis Presley LEGO ART mosaic, so it's definitely coming.

I finally got my hands on vibrant yellow from the PAB wall. I got 5 full cups of the two pieces they had. I love the color. No idea what i will use it for. But I have to agree that while I love it and love to have new colors, it feels weird at first. 
 Now I need tons of 1x2s in this colors:)
