LEGO has not released an updated color palette since 2016, so today we take a deep dive into color theory and Pantone matching to create an updated and more accurate LEGO color palette, updated for 2024!
So usually, the odd-colored bits are going to be hidden, and they went with contrasting color to help make it clear in the instructions.
Lego kit instructions are some of the best and most effective instructions you can find. The science and stuff. Behind them is not child’s play. ;)
It’s actually kind of amusing how we can tell the difference between my 20+ yo bricks and my nephew’s and niece’s bricks because the color palette is just… different.
Also how OCD the nephew is in finding the perfect color sets. Me? If the brick fits…
Pretty sure he stole some of my black bricks… but we won’t get into that…
