LEGO Color Chart

This is basically a simplified version of Rylie Howerter’s Color List. It serves a purpose in Turkish, since none of the colors (that I know of) have official Turkish names, but in English it only serves as a reference to see better images of colors I talk about in my articles.

Rylie has written a few explanations about the table on his website. I will not repeat them here. They can be found on the original page. However I will add the Types of Colors section here.

Types of Colors

• Solid (opaque)
• Transparent
• Metallic (swirled or matte metal colors. These are the actual plastic colors, not a coating.)
• Metalized (mirror-like coating. Some of these do not have TLG color names — for a long time they were listed by the plastic color, with only the element ID designating the surface treatment.)
• DrumLacquer (matte reflective coating)
• Translucent (translucent; some light passes through)
• Glitter (regular colors, with small sparkles or glitter mixed/embedded into the plastic)
• Opal (mixed with a very fine glitter additive; can reflect many colors when the light hits it just right)
• Diffuse (DrumLacquer coating with flecks of a DrumLacquer ink color)
• Ink (only used for printing on parts)
• Process (CMYK, used for printing on non-part media such as comics)
• Modulex (only used for Modulex parts)

Here’s what I have to say about my version of the table.

• The color samples featuring 2×2 bricks are rendered in Bricklink Studio, except for 125 (Light Orange) which was rendered in MecaBricks. Modulex color samples are from Rylie’s images. He was also able to find some color palette images the LEGO designers use, so I added them to the table as well. The source image of these can be found here.
• Rylie has taken pictures of almost all the colors. By clicking on the official LEGO name, you can see a picture of that specific color.
• You can use the search bar to find a specific color.

This is a huge list, and although I’ve bled my eyes to make it, there’s always the possibility of mistakes. If you find any, please let me know and I’ll do my best to correct them.
