I'm going to post two new patterned tiles 1 x 1 which use Metallic Light Blue color.

This color is missing from LDConfig so, for now, I will submit both parts with simple Light Blue color and will modify them as soon as the new color is available.

I checked BL, Ryan Howerter and Swooshable but couldn't find this color. Would you please provide some pictures?

This color has so far only been used in printed patterns. Never as a material colour on parts. That's way it can't be found on those places.

It is actually very common in printed patterns.

The new colors are:

0 !COLOUR Metallic_Light_Blue                                  CODE 10045 VALUE #97CBD9  EDGE #333333                              METAL

0 !COLOUR Opal_Trans_Dark_Blue                            CODE 10043 VALUE #0020A0  EDGE #000B38  ALPHA 200  LUMINANCE 5    MATERIAL GLITTER VALUE #FFFFFF FRACTION 0.8 VFRACTION 0.6 MINSIZE 0.02 MAXSIZE 0.1

0 !COLOUR Opal_Trans_Green                                   CODE 10048 VALUE #237841  EDGE #174F2B  ALPHA 200  LUMINANCE 5    MATERIAL GLITTER VALUE #FFFFFF FRACTION 0.8 VFRACTION 0.6 MINSIZE 0.02 MAXSIZE 0.1

I'll see if I get the color codes for the opal colors.

I know. I'm curious if also the RGBs will pop up.

Magnus has rearranged some of the pearl and metallic colours while I have added the three colours requested above using the RGBs of similar colors in use.

IMHO the Metallic Light Blue (code 10045) is a metallic paint colour, not pearlescent plastic. It should be moved.
