How the Lego Color Palette Has Changed Over the Last 40 Years

When Lego first break open on to the miniature scene , its bricks came in a very modified selection of colour ; now , there ’s an overwhelming kitchen range of choice . This chart shows how the available palette has changed over the years .

The stats werepulled together by Dave E over on the BrickSet forums . With the help of a trivial computer code , he analyzed the data about Lego sets useable on theBrickLinkinventories , then ignore some sets that he think would below the belt skew the distribution — include DUPLO , Fabuland , and Education set .

As Brothers Brick points out , it ’s worth noting that the figures line the raw Seth made each twelvemonth , and not their continued production or the total number of bricks made by Lego . Also , the Proto-Indo European charts show color as a percentage of full pieces , which means the absolute number of brick in a chip in color could increase even though the share drops .

Anyway , caveat apart , it ’s interesting to see how a fairly substantial chemise has occurred : the primary colors are less dominant , and the symmetry of what are known as light bluish grey and dark bluish grey at Lego have soared . In fact , the pallet is now generally far more morose than it used to be .

In fact , the colouration of a Lego bricks is a subject that causes much treatment amongst hardcore fans , asthis post by expert Ryan Howerter explain .
