Thats is absolutely understandable. For shapes this is a good final answer. But it is no answer for patterns, is it? If you handle them the same, color 16 would be the right choice for the discussed parts. Otherwise: May I submit the attached part to the parts tracker (don't worry! I won't)? It is an official LEGO Part Shape, but it is precolored (patterned) in a way it does not exist physically (it is used in the computer game LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, so it could even perhaps treated as an official LEGO part
). I think this is a custom pattern.My achivements giude exactly to the initial statement:
