As some of you are aware I have been working on a set of road and track standards for future train layouts.

The first steps toward this goal and how it could all work can be found here.
My main goals for this include.

Dear all, finally, after many years of discussion we got the go from our Design Lab to share the internal LEGO Color scheme with the LEGO Community.
So please find attached the actual scheme for 2010 for sharing. You can see on the scheme the internal LEGO color number and name.
I feel this is a kind of milestone in the contact between the LEGO Company and the LEGO Community and will ease the communication about the colors tremendously.
