Hello,

I recently bought a used lot with a bunch of vintage 1x1 plates.

I took the opportunity to make a little color chart, but also want to make sure I did it right before I list these on Bricklink.    I'd appreciate any help with verifying these are correct.   I can take a better picture with macro if this isn't quality enough:   (The Tan is my reference point for the list)

And here's an example of the pieces I need to get listed:

looks right to me.  

I appreciate the fast reply, thank you!

On a similar note, does anyone sell a real chart (like a big version of mine) with actual verified bricks to compare against?     I have looked up printable paper charts online, but they don't really sync up perfectly as printers can vary.

I would love a Nice printable chart.  as well  if anyone knows of one

So I found that this one seems to be more current (has the bluish gray's) but the colors didn't sync up to my comfort when printing:

There's another one I found (trying to find it again) that printed out much more accurately, but doesn't have the newer colors on it.

@Victorymike18  Are those brown or reddish brown you have there

 

never mind had a second pair of eyes verify

^ Hopefully they verified them as the old style Brown, cause that's s what I determined them as.  

There was a tray of Reddish Brown as well, not pictured here.

Grey and Bley are the hardest to determine. Especially if the Bley has been sun-bleached at all, as then it can look VERY much like classic Grey. At a glance these look right, but much like the printer calibration, any single monitor can be calibrated differently as well, so what I see might be the same as what you see. 

 

Wish Lego could've made the difference just a little more different. Dark Grey & Dark Bley, no problem. Brown and Reddish brown, no problem. Tiny Grey and Bley though.... bane of my sorting existence.
