A Quick Reminder Regarding Colors
UmbraManis started this discussion in Help and Tips

Just a quick little note. Remember that if you are recreating a set from pre 2007 to check the inventory on** Brickset** or Rebrickable. The reason for this is to make sure you are using the proper shades of Gray, Brown, and Gold. During the transition period from 2003-2007 these colors could be found at the same time, while all sets before this time had the old shades. (ie Gray, Dark Gray and Brown instead of the modern Medium Stone Gray, Dark Stone Gray, and Reddish Brown)

Once you have checked which colors came in the set, you may need to check the box in the upper right hand corner of the colors selection in the workshop that says legacy. This will add this discontinued colors to the workshop for you to use.

Continue to have fun using MecaBricks!

To add a few more details, colours in mecabricks are using LEGO names and references which are different from Ldraw/Bricklink. It can be confusing especially for greys. e.g. Light Grey [Ldraw] = Grey [LEGO/mecabricks]

Please have a look at the colour table I made.
