Color Flat_Silver vs Pearl Silver - Jaco van der Molen - 2024-02-09

Hi,

Various sources (Brickset, Bricklink, etc.) talk about the LDraw color id 179 as Flat_Silver (or Flat Silver without the underscore)
Only good old Peeron says "pearlsilver" 

In LDconfig we call this Pearl Silver (too).


I noticed this building a MOC that has the Minifigure Scissors (18920) in it.
I need it to be the right color and it seems this part only comes in Flat Silver.

Should we adjust an make more consistant or is this a well thought through LDraw thing?

Jaco

Right. Complicated....

Too complicated. Never mind, I just use some shade and if I order the parts to build, I know the scissors only come in one color anyway... ;-)
