Missing Ldraw Colors

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Does this color exist in LDraw? If not, would it even be necessary to add it?
Lego ID: 220
Lego Name: Light Lilac

Here's a tiny bit of information on Brickset.
It seems to be a pretty rare color.

The only thing I know is:

LEGO ID: 220
LEGO Name: Lgh. Lilac

I haven't found a single part which uses this color, but my check is from several month ago.

So Long

Based on the picture from Ryan H. I would say it ought to be like this:

334 should be mapped to new code 300 - Metallic_Copper
335 should be mapped to 82 - Metallic_Gold
336 should be mapped to 80 - Metallic_Silver

It looks to me as a "flat" metallic paint. Not a mirrorlike chrome plated surface.

I don't understand why Ryan has placed a Chrome_Gold crown and a Chrome_Silver lightsabre next to the three painted parts.
Maybe to illustrate the confusion? Two different surfaces on the same code?

That's because Lego has used "335 Gold Ink" to refer to both Chrome Gold and Metallic Gold coatings.  From what I've seen, Gold Ink is sort of a catch-all for any gold coating now. Same with 336 Silver Ink.

Sorry for the delay. Use the rebrickable color which is closer to what I measured with PS and 59425e for the edge.

Hello Sven and Willy

The Rebrickable colour code (#96709F) is identical to what we already have at CODE 44 "Trans_Bright_Reddish_Lilac"
I think this must be corrected.

May I suggest something like #C281A5 instead.

Fine with it.

Fine with it.

Could you please calc a correct colour for the edges? It's a transparent colour, and should have coloured edges.
I was never able to replicate the values you created.

Please use #82566E. The conversation is easy. Reduce the Brightness in a HSB room by 25%:

* The LDCOnfig.ldr uses "Gray" because of https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gray (variants: or less commonly grey).

Thank you,

My antivirus blocks that site...   Any other online site that can do the same simple adjustment?

Why do the offical colour file use a different spelling than what we are forced to use in the description of a patterned part?
DatHeader corrects "Gray" too "Grey" since it is american english.

Try https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/color/ or search for "Conversion HEX to HSB/HSV".

Guess the Gray/Grey dilemma has to be forwarded to a native.

Reduce the Brightness in a HSB room by 25%

I finally got it working.
Theres a big difference in "reduce by 25%" and "reduce by 25 percent points"....

When (and why) did we switch to American English in this file? In appreciation of James' work we prefer Australian English. All my references indicate that the preferred Australian spelling is 'Grey'. Merriam-webster is American English.

FWIW, 220 is generally a DUPLO or CLICKITS color, though (up to) two SYSTEM elements came in the color: Design 43802 (as shown on Brickset) and 33230 (I find Item references, but not necessarily sets that used the Item)

No.

                                                       LDraw:  62 | Chrome_Green - VALUE #3CB371 - EDGE #007735 - Material CHROME
LEGO color: 186 | Metallic Dark Green => LDraw: 186 | Metallic_Dark_Green - VALUE #008E3C - EDGE #333333 - Material PEARLESCENT

Material must be Metal. It's alreadey fixed in the first post.

[Willy Tschager]

Max has cross-checked the color table in the last days and found a mis-match of 383 and 87. With these pics as reference:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/

the correct match between LEGO and LDraw colors is:

0 // LEGOID 309 / 336 - Metalized Silver / Silver Ink
0 !COLOUR Chrome_Silver CODE 383 VALUE[color=black] #E0E0E0[/color] EDGE CHROME

0 // LEGOID 298 / 336 - Cool Silver Drum Lacq / Silver Ink
0 !COLOUR Metallic_Dark_Grey CODE 87 VALUE EDGE METAL

0 !COLOUR Chrome_Silver CODE 383 VALUE[color=black] #E0E0E0[/color] EDGE CHROME

0 // LEGOID 298 / 336 - Cool Silver Drum Lacq / Silver Ink
0 !COLOUR Metallic_Dark_Grey CODE 87 VALUE EDGE METAL

Oh, no. Not this again. In my opinion, this is not correct.

I agree on that LEGOID 309/336 is Ldraw CODE 383 "Chrome_Silver"

But connecting LEGOID 298/336 to Ldraw CODE 87 is wrong.
IMO, LEGOID 298/336 should be connected to Ldraw CODE 80 instead.

LDraw CODE 87 "Metallic_Dark_Grey" might be connected to LEGOID 148, but only in RGB-values. Not in material.

IMO, we are missing a LEGO name of the metallic dark grey colour paint.
We only have the name of the metallic dark grey plastic, LEGOID 148 "Dark Grey Metallic"
