I did a quick recap of all the Opal colours so far (a total of 8) and noticed a few issues with older existing Opals, but also a few other colours:
Any objections/comments?
- Our Opal_Trans_Green (ID 367) is using the wrong Base Colour; Trans_Green instead of Trans_Bright_Green. This is likely caused by the official name being just "Transparent Green with Opalescence" for some reason. Opal Trans-(Dark-)Green parts do exist, but those are purely unofficial at the moment. I intend to change the current one to match Trans_Bright_Green.
- Should 363 Opal_Trans_Black be renamed to Opal_Trans_Brown? This Opal colour is based on the old 1999-2022 Trans-Brown and it's not entirely unlikely we will eventually see parts in "real" Opal-Trans-Black.
- None of the 3 variants of Trans-Purple (52 Regular, 129 Glitter, 365 Opal) currently match. Those are all based on the same plastic colour, just with a different amount of the glitter additive, so should be very close for the real parts. Is this something that should stay this way?
- For Trans_Clear (47) and Glitter_Trans_Clear (117) the same Mis-Match applies as with Trans_Purple.
- Colour 294 Glow_In_Dark_Trans currently uses the same Alpha value as the other 2 Glow-in-the-Dark colours 21 and 329, despite being noticably more translucent on real parts. Should it's Alpha be lowered?
- The colour 342 Conductive Black (only ever used for part 15411, the App-Bricks in Ultra Agents) would probably look more realistic if it got changed to a type of Glitter colour, likely with dark grey particles instead of silvery ones used for real Glitter colours.
- Colour 77 Light_Pink seems to use a wrong Hex (#FECCCF). The Lego Colour this is based upon (223 Light Pink) uses #F17880 officially and looks much darker/saturated than the current one. This is an odd colour anyways, since it's one of the few in LDraw that never was released officially. It was supposed to replace 101 Medium Red (12 Salmon) in 2004, but got eventually cut.
Any objections/comments?
