Should I continue coding it lightblue or should I pick a better color? If so, which one?Question is - is it supposed to be really light blue, or is it a misprint that makes underneath white of brick that makes regular blue color lighter? See huge color variation between bricks at the bottom of this page: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=3005*#T=P&P=4 ? Peeron and Bricklink list everything as "blue"...
Good question! No, the bold (newer I'm quite sure) chars are not by far light blue as defined by LDConfig. In fact, they are much closer to blue than the myriad of variants occuring among to older ones. All the older have a touch of violet which the bold ones lack. I think we should make all bold, currently light blue letters and digits plain blue, without a doubt.
The the next question is, do we have to change the currently blue ones? I don't have an opinion there. Lke you said, BL and Peeron regard them as blue. I can live with both a change there and with no change.
(The pics on BL are likely made with different cameras and in different lighting. Thus the differences can be both bigger and smaller than in real life.)
