What other colours would you want lego bricks in?

[Optimax X]

Okay, thought this would be the place to put a topic like this, but what other brick colours would you want.

Me, defiently, orange, and not the orange-brown you can get at the moment, a proper orange. Also, green in the normal bricks would be excellent as would be some more shades of blue

So what about you?

i have both those colours. you can usually get good colour bricks from the shops!

i would want any sort of colours i could make a realistic looking building with maybe a maroon or a darker cream.

[Optimax X]

Well i certanly have not, but they would be good for my collection

I wouldn't say no to more purple. I like the more obscure colours. Nice as the base colours are, the obscure ones just add that touch of originality to a MOC/collection.

More turquoise wouldn't go amiss either. How about more metallic colours. For example, bronze (a Dalek?), metallic blue and mettalic red. Although, they'd probably cost a bit.

Pink

Purple

Basically all the Belville and Paradisa colors, at Un-inflated prices, and in a wider variety of bricks.

Pink starfighter!

Okay, I am not really understanding this topic. We have had regular orange bricks, and turquoise bricks, pink bricks, and purple bricks! It seems as different people are interpreting this topic's purpose differently. I see at least 3 different questions here:

1. What brand new colors would you like to see?

2. What new colors would you like to see standard bricks made in next?

3. What existing brick colors would you like to see in bulk? (at say, a Pick a Brick)

My answers:

Number 1: Army Green, a sort of olive green color (much like the color the cheap Best Lock army kits use). That would be awesome for mocs. *sweet*

Number 2. Again. Army Green. Maybe Ice Blue, too (not baby blue).

Number 3: Purple, Teal, Dark Blue and Dark Green, and Yellow Orange.

I agree! System bricks in purple would look really cool! ;-)

Old gray, old brown..........

Old gray, old brown..........

I second that ! We desperately need old gray. I have nothing against bley but replacing a color by another is terrible. So we need Bley AND old gray. *y*

1. What brand new colors would you like to see?

That is the one.

Obiously people don't have a brick in every single colour lego made, so were un-aware about if they were or not proper lego brick colours.

Actually, I just couldn't think of any colours off the top of my head.

I'd like a wider range of bricks in these colours we already have:

Dark Orange (especially to make the Annie and Clarabel train coaches for Thomas)

Knight Bus purple

Dark Tan (more realistic sand colour than tan)

I'd like bricks in these new colours:

Cream (not just faded white!), especially train windows for "chocolate and cream" train coaches.

More shades of green for scenery (plant parts, rods, plates and tiles)

I agree that there are reasons to retain the old greys and brown, not least the fact that railway ballast yellows over time just like old grey plates. Bley tiles might make good concrete sleepers but the ballast should be old grey.

The main thing is for the rarer colours to be widely available as the full range of standard bricks, plates and tiles, so that more specialised parts that I get in sets could fit in more easily.

It would be interesting to have un-pigmented bricks too (the natural tan-like colour). Hopefully these could be cheaper than other bricks given the lack of colour processing required - ideal for all bricks in places you can't see them.

BTW the Cafe Corner is a great parts pack for the desirable colours - sheer indulgence using medium blue for parts you can't see once it's finished!

I would like more Trans. colours. They rocks my socks...

[JoeMI6]

This, in theory, should be moved to general lego discussion.

[Hobbes]

Every brick in every color.

[Brainbox]

Every brick in every color.

*wub*

[Hobbes]

Well, if they cut down on quality they can at least give us that...

And I shall third this - since I'm obviously too late to be the first to write it! X-D

[Athos]

I personally think we have way too many colors as it is. We have like six blues and five greens, and pinks and oranges and... and... and...

What I would like to see, however, is, if we are going to have all these crazy colors, give us the bricks to actually build something with them. We have all of these colors, but hardly get more than a few (stupid) curved slopes and couple unwieldly long tiles and a handful of small plates. Now what am I going to do with those? You can hardly even tile a vignette with the small number of parts they give us.

I have a whole bucket of colors that I don't have enough regular bricks to do anything with...

So my suggestion is either: (1) stop making all these new colors and stick with a more managable palate; or (2) expand the number of pieces available in the new colors.

Mark Bellis wrote about Knights Bus purple, but there where more shades of purple in the bus? :-D

I agree with Athos. The main colours are important and I like to name them as:

White (please one white)

Yellow,

Red (with dark red, but no more than 2 reds)

Orange (please one orange)

Blue (with light blue and Dark blue, but not more)

Black

Green (and Lime green)

New Brown (old will not be coming back)

New light grey (old will not be coming back)

New dark grey (old will not be coming back)

Purple ( yes really one purple please)

Pink

And for some things other colours, but only when its important

but more or less 20 colours can't be that difficult

edit: OMG X-O , how could I forget Tan :-D
