Missing Ldraw Colors

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Hi Folks,

I want to render parts for a huge amount of models. Therefore I scanned over a lot of available part lists form TLG and came across some colors, where I couldn't find an equivalent in LDconfig.ldr. Is there any chance that we can add the missing colors, so that we can render parts whith these colors?
I found the ID which is used by TLG and the official names for the color. I also have some RGB values if this would help, but these are not official ones and may be wrong.

• LEGO color: 296 | Cool Silver => Ldraw  135 | Pearl Light Grey

Hi Sven,

just out of interest (I was on the committee trying to harmonize all the LDraw, LEGO, BL, names and numbers and it gave me a very hard time) where do these numbers and names come from? Did you match them against:

Hi Willy,

I think I found the right guy for my request . These numbers and names are not matched against the mentioned tables. The reason for this is, that I wanted to use the official ids and names from TLG for my purpose. I know that there are a lot of different names and IDs out there and I also used some of them, but I'm trying to use only the official TLG data. 
To do this I scanned over a huge amount of part lists directly from the LEGO page. With this I was not able to get the ids of the colors, but short names like "TR.L.BLUE" (Transparent Light Blue). Therefore the names I picked are only good guesses. To match these short names against the lego IDs I was able to use one of the "pick a brick" pages to tell me the secret of the corresponding ids. 
Whith this method I was able to get a list from Id 0 to Id 999 for all colors. I filtered out all ids which aren't used in any of the part lists and the mentioned colors in my initial post are the ones, which I couldn't map to the ldraw colors.

If it will help, I can give you the complete list with all the ids and names, which I've got. 
From all color tables I've found, this was the most reliable information which I found so far.

Hi Sven,

These numbers and names are not matched against the mentioned tables. The reason for this is, that I wanted to use the official ids and names from TLG for my purpose. I know that there are a lot of different names and IDs out there and I also used some of them, but I'm trying to use only the official TLG data.

When we updated the color table seven years ago one of the most debated topics was if we should switch to the official TLG data and overwrite our color numbers and names or not. The final approach was to stick to our legacy an keep backwards compatible (you surely know that we had already defined tons of colors before LEGO started sharing its shadow colors back in 2003) and use the LEGO data only for those colors which were not part of the LDConfig file.

 
To do this I scanned over a huge amount of part lists directly from the LEGO page. With this I was not able to get the ids of the colors, but short names like "TR.L.BLUE" (Transparent Light Blue).

Please consider Scott's post, who was also on board of the color committee:

http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=4613

It would make no sense adding colors which might have no matching color in real life. If you find colors which are actually missing in the LDConfig but cannot be found in a set I'm happy to add them to the chart.

w.

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Hi Willy,

it's perfectly fine to stick with the color definitions which we currently have. Especially for backward compatibility. I just have the problem, that I wasn't able to find mappings from the official TLG IDs to ldraw color IDs (http://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html) for some colors. 

Maybe some of my findings are also covered in the ldraw overview, but I wasn't able to match them to ldraw IDs. So I could need some help here. In addition I think that some colors are not covered at all. Therefore I hope that we can add them. 

I assume that the mentioned colors from my list do exist in real life, because they are used in part lists which I've got from TLG-Service page (https://wwwsecure.us.lego.com/de-de/serv...ementparts)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they only add parts in the lists which they use for real life bricks.

I didn't add the colors which aren't used right now to the list, because I also think that this doesn't make sense.


Unfortunately I don't have any RGB information about the colors, but I can provide at least one brick (TLG Item No) per color to identify the brick, if this would help somehow.


So Long

Sven

[Willy Tschager]

Hi Sven,

again I'm happy to add those colors, but you have to show more evidence, that these colors are actually missing. In short the workload is on you ;-) I therefore propose that you take one color from your list at the time, crosscheck it with the tables mentioned above and post links to LEGO, BL, Brickset, your own pics, ... in short all available sources. We'll see if we can get the RGBs for the shadow colors from the LEGO Community Team once the colors are confirmed.

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Hi Willy,

I did some homework and found some information about the mentioned colors in the links you provieded. Lets start with the first one.

GROOVE TUBE 120MM (SILV.MET.)

My own Data

Lego ID: 296

Lego Name: C.SILVER

MY guessed name: Cool Silver

Lego ID: 1003

Ldraw ID: 80

Bricklink ID: 67

Lego Name: C.SILVER

Rebrickable Name: Metallic Silver

RGB: #A5A9B4

In this case only rebrickable does provide some useful information. I'm perfectly fine with using Ldraw color 80 (Silver Metallic), but it would be cool to have an official mapping inside ldraw config if this also fits for you. 

I can provide these kind of information for the other colors aswell, if you like to proceed like this.

Hello Sven

Hi Willy,

I did some homework and found some information about the mentioned colors in the links you provieded. Lets start with the first one.

GROOVE TUBE 120MM (SILV.MET.)

My own Data

Lego ID: 296

Lego Name: C.SILVER

MY guessed name: Cool Silver

... but there is a match at Brickset:
http://brickset.com/parts/colour-Cool-Silver



We call that colour Pearl Light Grey, LDraw Code 135
I don't know why it is matched to lego id 179 in ldconfig.ldr. Maybe Willy knows?

You picked an interesting example, Sven. My personal opinion is that the connection in ldconfig.ldr between lego id 179 and ldraw code 135 is not correct. IMO, the best tool for comparing lego colours is found at Swooshable. Use the excellent tool Colourschemer for visual help.
All the pictures have been made by Ryan Howerter and is also used at Brickset.

Both colours, lego id 179 Silver flip/flop and lego id 296 Cool silver, were only in production for a year each, 2002 and 2006 and they have been replaced by lego id 131 Silver and lego id 315 Silver metallic. Ryan H. has also put together a timeline of all colours.

I haven't looked at the rest of your list of missing colour, but we are missing one colour, lego id 300 Copper, Drum lacq, in ldconfig.ldr.
Could we please have that one added to ldconfig.ldr?

btw.
Please don't misstake lego id 315 Silver metallic with ldraw code 80 Silver metallic. The ldraw Metallic colour codes should only be used in printed patterns and painted parts. Scratch the surface and the paint will go away.

Every time the LDraw and LEGO color number does not match it's a clear indicator that we already had a LDraw legacy color and based on the RGB and other information picked a LEGO color. Sometimes sources where not clear and it was all about a guessing game. What we also had in mind was an AFOL approach rather than a LEGO one. This means that if there was a BL name available we would favour the BL name. Therefore "Maersk Blue" over "Pastel Blue". Keep also in mind that we are working with "shadow colors". The RGBs LEGO provides are the ones used on there systems to represent a brick color and does NOT match 100% the real ABS color.

Back to "296 Cool Silver". Apparently BL also uses "Pearl Light Grey" and what about 179 and 135. Proposals -  and please use a very practical approach?

Hi Willy,

what about keeping the mapping for LEGO color 179 to Ldraw 135 for backwards compatibility reasons. In addition we could introduce a new color for 296 Cool silver? If we do it this way we can clearly distinguish the colors. At least from their IDs. If the optical difference is near zero, we could map LEGO color 296 also to Ldraw 135. But we need the information from someone who owns parts in both colors. 
Therefore I suggest:

LEGO color 179 (Silver Flip Flop) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)

LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) -> new ID, new RGB and new Ldraw name 
or
LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)

What do you think?

LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) -> new ID, new RGB and new Ldraw name 
or
LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)

I'm more inclined to replace 135 with LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) but since it has been replace by LEGO color ID 131 Silver and LEGO color ID 315 Silver metallic
we should pack 135 with 296+131+315.

If I understand you right, you suggest to do it like this:

LEGO color 296 (Cool Silver) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)
LEGO color 131(Silver) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)
LEGO color 315(Silver Metallic) -> Ldraw 135 (Pearl Light Grey)

Does 315 Silver Metallic needs a different finish for rendering, than the other ones? Maybe some chrome like finish, or do they look similar?
If they are all almost the same, I'm fine with it.

If you look at parts images here http://brickset.com/colours/family-Metal you see that there is probably more color discrepancy between parts that are supposed to be the same color than between these three different color bins. So I'm OK to map them to the same LDraw color, and use RGB of metallic silver  (current color) - though "RGB" here means little!!!

Good overview. From my point of view our three canditates look very similar. Because these are photos, the lighting conditions could be different when the photos where taken.
The other ones from the link are easier to distinguish.

Sven,

Have you read this article?   The curious case of LEGO colours

Finding the "correct" colour isn't allways that easy, and maybe it sometimes isn't that important to have the correct shade of grey...
But I agree. We seem to be missing some important, common colours.

Hi Magnus,

thank you for the link to the very good article. I also agree, that it is not always important to have the exact right color. I just want to come to an official mapping from the used LEGO colors to ldraw colors. So that I'm able to render the parts. It's also fine if several LEGO colors share the same Ldraw color.

I don't know too much about LDraw colors, but I think rubber green is the same story as rubber black. On inventory sites such as Rebrickable and Bricklink, rubber parts in black (often tires) just get assigned the color 'Black', because it is black. In the LDraw world, there are 2 blacks though: normal black and rubber black. Because, in real life, rubber parts in black look less 'deep black', they look more grayish (because of the material rubber) and more matte. So, when you give rubber parts the color rubber black, they look more 'realistic' in renderings and such. 

I can't find a comparison, but you can easily make one yourself I think

Once again, not a lot of information available. The Name and and the Lego ID is fine I think. Unfortunately we've two different RGB Values from Rebrickable and Swooshable.
Because I didn't found any mapping I think it's a not yet covered color in ldraw. Does someone has more information on that?

[Willy Tschager]

The color name should be in sync with the rest of glitter. Therefore:

302 - Glitter_Trans_Light_Blue

furthermore it would be reasonable to use the same RGB as for Trans_Light_Blue also counting in that there is not a commune value out there.

w.

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Yes this makes sense. Using the same RGB as Trans_light_blue is also fine, because it is the same with the other glitter colors. Only the Edge value differs.
Because 302 seems to be free as Ldraw id, should we simply use it?

May I ask for more changes in the config files?

• The word "colour" is mispellt in the LDCfgalt.ldr file. Color => Colour
  
• I want to increase the alpha value of "Trans Black IR Lens" to 210. I want it to be less see-through.
  
• I want to increase the alpha value of "Milky White" to 240. I want it to be less see-through.
  
• And maybe also have the two Glow-in-dark-colours set to alpha 240.

Both colors have its dominant in red. Swooshable more than our wiki. Picking the color from the image you've posted I get:

#F0FEED

which is greenish.

The Picture is from LEGO Parts and Pieces. I assume they did a more or less accurate rendering. Also from the name it does make sense that it is greenish. I wonder why the other sources list this color somhow reddish.

I think this fellow is simple. Three sources list the same RGB #[color=#333333]8E5597, so we should take it. 218 is free as ldraw ID, so we also can take this. As Ldraw name, we could take Medium Violet. If this is ok, only the edge color is missing.[/color]

We translated Lilac with Purple. See Bright Reddish Lilac, Medium Lilac, therefore this should become Medium Purple. As for the edge the usual #333333 should be appropriate.

I would love if you could help me out on this since I do not have any intention to get creative.

I could do that if I would understand how to. I tried to recreate the edge colour from the examples above and failed.
Light colours should have darker edges, and darker colours have lighter edges. Right?

You said above "brightness is reduced by 25%". There is a big difference between "reduce by 25 percent" and "reduce by 25 percentage points"

Could you show me an online tool that could be used. I don't have Photoshop.

What do you mean by "creative"? Are you telling me there is no ruling idea behind the alternative edge colours?

Sure:

http://www.webme.co.uk/web-tools/color-picker.php
http://onlinewebtool.com/colorpicker.php

Insert a hex and if B says for example 76 move B to 51 to get your edge color.

What do you mean by "creative"? Are you telling me there is no ruling idea behind the alternative edge colours?

Don't ask me, I haven't worked on the alternative LDConfig. My guessing is that some values have been copied form the old LDConfig, while the criteria for the rest was, well, taste. Therefore your first step should be working out some rules for you. If I remember correctly we used a brighter edge line for the LDconfig.ldr on the dark colors when B droped below 33%.

While we are working on LDConfig.ldr, I'd like to see RGB value of main color (16) to be changed to something more "visible" than current gray, which is very easy to confuse with Light Gray or LBG. See this discussion for more details... I suggest to use #ffff80, a color I use for years as default color for LDView.

It's indeed difficult to choose a color not close of an existing one in LEGO palette - just need to find one not as ubiquitous as LG/LBG!

We shouldn't be too fast to change this color, it seems to trigger issues with some software - albeit not major ones:
- LDPE does show the modified color in the color bar, but a part in main color remain gray
- In LDCad, unused space in color wheel takes the color of main color and becomes yellow.

[Magnus Forsberg]

How about LDView and DatHeader/LDFind/LDStructure?
I can't make them show that yellow colour.

Preview icons in Windows are still created grey by LDView.

Or do I still have issues from having software in the wrong folder?
I have a copy of ldconfig.ldr in the VirtualStore-folder downloaded by DatHeader

[Philippe Hurbain]

How about LDView and DatHeader/LDFind/LDStructure?
I can't make them show that yellow colour.

LDView (and Mike's tools that use LDView DLL) use "default color" defined in LDView preference instead of LDConfig color 16.

Preview icons in Windows are still created grey by LDView.

This depends on LDView "thumbnails" preference set.

Here we have another transparent piece. It's a rare color and only a few information available. 293 is a free ldraw id. The Royal Blue colors are mapped to different ldraw names (Blue_violet, Light_blue), therefore we can't simply adopt the name. Because it is a "light" color we could go with "Trans_Light_Blue".

At least from the lego picture and the one from swooshable. I think it should be more brownish. If we want to map it to an existing color I would prefer "Dark Orange". Or we just create a new color.

Here's a new challenge. Only sparse information available. LDraw ID is free. I think the information from rebrickable is somehow wrong. I know for sure that "COPPER, DR.LA." is Lego ID 300. Therefore I wouldn't give much about the RGB value from Rebrickable. I would go with Swooshable. Also their Lego name does make more sense than mine. So I suggest to use LDraw ID 300 and for the name some speckle color. Speckle_Copper? But there is also a "Speckle_Black_Copper".

No, it should be "Metallic_Copper". It's a metallic paint mainly used on patterned parts.
we already have
Lego Cool Silver Drum Laquer as LDraw Metallic_Silver
Lego  Warm Gold Drum Laquer as LDraw Metallic_Gold

I think #C47949 is too dark. To me its more like #DC9150

If it's okay with you go with:

189 - Reddish Gold and use the swooshable RGB (rebrickable is too brownish). Don't forget to add a PEARLESCENT statement

I think here we've a small conflict to solve. The Ldraw ID 335 is already taken by "Sand_Red" which is not goldish at all. At the same time we have "Metallic Gold" which is Ldraw 82 and LEGO id 310. LEGO ID 310 is "Titanium Metallic" which is also not very goldish (http://mi-od-live-s.legocdn.com/media/br...613958.jpg)

Option 1: Map Lego ID 335 to Ldraw 82
Option 2: We use a new ldraw id and a new name. (I found 9 parts with this color)
Option 3: Clean up the confusion in the related colors (unlikely).

Comparing:

with:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@...226158525/

this looks more like chrome. We should therefore map it to 334 Chrome_Gold which would also be in sync with:

LEGO color: 336 | Silver Ink => Ldraw: 383 | Metalized Silver - VALUE #6D6E5C - EDGE #333333

(TAKE NOTE THAT METALIZED SILVER SHOULD ACTUALLY USE THE LEGACY NAME: CHROME_SILVER)

w.

[Willy Tschager]

Hmm. This is odd:

The timeline https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15801189140 maps 335 and 336 to chrome as well as metallic with 309 and 310 on the chrome side and 298 and 299 on the metallic side. The usual inconistencIes with LEGO colors over the years.

w.

[Magnus Forsberg]

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?

[Willy Tschager]

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

Agree, but we have to map 316 - Titanium Metallic to a different color as it clearly isn't 82 - Metallic_Gold.

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.

How come the main (16) and edge (24) colours looks wrong in your pictures? I think there might be something wrong in your script.

I'll check... It's a by product of the mpd structure. Each brick position contains a brick in its own color, and a text in main color, allowing to have text in black for white background and white for black background. So "main color" brick inherits text color! I'll try to improve this...

This is a tough one. We kind of have an issue with the already existing ldraw id 63. It is stated that ldraw id belongs to LEGO id 147. And LEGO 147 is mentioned as "Metallic Bright Red". From my investigations I'm pretty sure that 147 should be Metallic Sand Yellow, which can also be found multiple times in the  Ldraw color list "http://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html".
The good thing is, that 184 is still available as Ldraw ID. Therefore we could fix this.

This one is also somehow confusing. It seems like there is already a matching color (Ldraw 63), but it points like the color before to LegoID 147. Shall we just map LegoID 186 to Ldraw 62?

[Willy Tschager]

No, we strip whatever is mapped from 62 and leave "Chrome green" without a match. Create a new entry for 186.

We have two 147 so there must be a mistake.

So this should be the entry for 186?

Well, this is the last one for now. We have a free LDraw ID and no known mismatch with other colors. There are three possible RGB values. Therefore we can choose which one fits the most.

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.

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.

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.

[Sven v. Beuningen]

Finally I think we're done. Thank you very much for the support. I still have about 60 unknown colors in the background, but they are all so called "Multicombination" colors and I think they are a little bit hard to track down.

Hi,

I have added the missing colors and tried to fix the purple/violet mismatch by renaming some LDraw colors "Lilac". Furthermore I added blanks after the slashes in the LEGO names. Please check:

[Merlijn Wissink]

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.

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

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)

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/126975831@...801189140/
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@...768155498/

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

Attached the correct:

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

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"
