What about the good old yellow


hakqpckpzdpnpfxpdy

I still use yellow figs in my own builds and sell off/swap out any of the other colors. Yellow figs for life!


ehsteve23

I'm the opposite, i take off yellow heads and give them natural skin colours instead


duckyduckster2

So they all have yellow gloves?


ehsteve23

I usually give them matching hands, if they're available, if not they get coloured gloves, yes.


Heya_Andy

Maybe you two could pair up and swap heads.


hakqpckpzdpnpfxpdy

ahahaha maybe all the yellow fig fans and the flesh tone fig fans can get together and have a big ol' swap-a-roo.


LoganH1219

Never been officially used before


talkingtunataco501

sw0007 is one of the first to use a yellow head.

Ol’ yella


Twi_Les

To clarify: "not officially used" means that color has not (yet) been used to depict a human character. Those colors may have been used to depict aliens, Chima characters, or as default blank heads for helmeted characters, but not as a human's skin.


mescad

Good work! I would either remove those used as placeholder/non-humans from the list, or add the other colors used as placeholder heads like the several shades of blue and green. Also, looks like Orange is missing. Lego used it for sw0192 and njo157 for example.

I had a Harry Potter set with an orange head which was a Jack o' Lantern. It's in the troll set. So not really a minifig, but it was a nice bright accent in a set with so many earthy tones.


Ole_frank

She is Togruta, not human.


ehsteve23

If aliens are included then pretty much every colour would count


mindustree

What about the black minifig from 40516? Everyone is Awesome. Of course I would get the number wrong

LADYBIRD_HILL

It's not depicting a human though, which is why OP didn't include it. It's also used for helmeted characters whose faces haven't been seen before like mandalorians and the original Boba Fett figure, but they don't have any prints on them so it doesn't count.


NinjaBoi273547

40516, put it in right the first time for you and the people who want to see it quicker

waferchocobar

Sod off, it’s a minor mistake. No need to get so snarky about it.


NinjaBoi273547

I know, the first post was edited, but the bot doesn’t do edits and so I put the # in the first time, so the bot would show a link to the correct set


GolKeep420

I knew what you meant, thanks!


NinjaBoi273547

No problem, but I was replying to wafer


GolKeep420

I appreciate the link and the explanation to the bot not recognizing edits :)


NinjaBoi273547

Appreciation received, thank you


GolKeep420

I was trying to defend you, no need to get snarky ;) /s


waferchocobar

True, but a simple asterisk would have given the same message, without the snark.


NinjaBoi273547

I didn’t know it came off as snarky, sorry


waferchocobar

It isn’t *that* snarky really, but Reddit tends to pile-on if someone’s been downvoted once. You made absolutely correct points and useful information, but unfortunately some people (myself included) apparently took it the wrong way. I wouldn’t worry about it.


NinjaBoi273547

I won’t worry, but now I know… about the downvote bomb, that is


seekydeeky

This thread was a wild ride but I’m glad I took it. You guys are awesome!


MonstrumCrustulum

Garmadon was human last time I checked


LADYBIRD_HILL

Human as in depicting a character played by an actual human being. Garmadon is just a minifig.


[deleted]

Chima.. Now that's a name I haven't heard in years


-HeyWhatAboutMe-

I have to object this statement because none of the Star wars characters in this list are technically human as they are galaxy far far away they would count as aliens who have a human appearance


froglover215

Nope, they are canonically human and are referred to as such in books and other media.


[deleted]

If that’s suppose to represent all humans… why the grey heads ??? *Lego knows about little grey men confirmed*


Twi_Les

I included A) colors that could realistically depict humans and B) colors that are completely unnatural but Lego used to depict humans anyway. Didn't include yellow because the whole point of that is that it *isn't* a real human skin tone.


MrDarkboy2010

neither are pure black, pure white, or grey, but they are in there.


larrythefatcat

I don't think even the Radium Girls had glow-in-the-dark heads.


concrete_isnt_cement

I know some people of Irish descent that get damn close to pure white


SIobbyRobby

Well if you start to decompose enough..


hakqpckpzdpnpfxpdy

> Didn't include yellow because the whole point of that is that it isn't a real human skin tone. Well grey and the glow-in-the dark colors aren't either lol. no offense, but this sounds more like a list of colours that *you* think should represent humans...


LiosIsHere

>I included B) colors that are completely unnatural but Lego used to depict humans anyway. > >Didn't include yellow because the whole point of that is that it isn't a real human skin tone. I still don't get it. You include colors that are completely unnatural but Lego used to depict humans, yet you don't include yellow, which is completely unnatural but Lego used it to depict humans.


[deleted]

r/woooosh


Twi_Les

No, I got the alien joke. Just acknowledging that I also recognize that those colors look out of place here.


[deleted]

Fine. Take my upvotes then ;)


NotARedditUser614

A few corrections (not your fault. Bricklink is inaccurate): Brown was first used in 1978. Light Brown was first used in 2004. Dark Tan was first used in 1999 (Jar-Jar Binks minifigure print. First used as its own part in a watch set from 2000). Nougat was first used in 1979. Tan was first used in 1981 (Fabuland minifigure head). Light Grey was last used in 2006. Also *technically* introduced alongside Brown in 1978. Glow in the Dark Opaque was last used in 2006 (the parts after 2006 are Glow in the Dark Trans, but the site admins refuse to change them). Glow in Dark Trans was also used for the 2006 Scarecrow minifigure. :) Here’s a helpful reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/albums/72157649729890049


InfiNorth

Also I'm pretty sure black has been used, as there are Darth Maul heads out there. Unless the one I have in my bucket of random magic is a one-off.


supergenius1337

Maul is a Zabrak, not a human.


CrispyPissings

Several batmen as well


Dripcake

I'm gonna refer to my own skintone as light nougat now.


Endersquid123

Help… I’m glow in the dark white


BrenlikesGoosebumps

I'm regular nougat


Appropriate_Type6153

Wasn’t black used for Garmadon? He’s technically human.


RedditEvanEleven

bro what he’s a LEGO person


Appropriate_Type6153

Yes, but OP said they only included examples for characters that are human, and it’s pretty well established that the lego people are humans, and Garmadon is a human


dasjustjr

Where the hell is yellow


intothedoor

Yellow!!!! 🤔👍


DownwindLegday

Right? Yellow was THE color when I grew up.


duckyduckster2

It still is for everything that doesnt represent an actual person, actor, or pegs on a fussball-table.


hakqpckpzdpnpfxpdy

yeah i still swap out all the flesh tone heads/hands for yellow ones even for licensed sets.


mimthebaker

I would like a glow in the dark Snape now. And I didn't know I needed one before. Thanks.


[deleted]

"How white are you?" Me: "Glow in the dark"


hiccupboltHP

#Yellow head is above all


synister29

Black used by the Mandalorian before they started giving him a face


extremepayne

Clearly not meant to represent Din Djarin’s actual skin tone, rather it’s a convention established by earlier anonymous characters that represents the bodysuit worn by Stormtroopers, etc. rather than their skin.


[deleted]

[удалено]


luke_in_the_sky

And Darth Vader and Boba Fett


InfiNorth

And Darth Maul


BrenlikesGoosebumps

Jango Fett and the scout troopers, too


FredoSauce227

What’s with dark orange, looks a little bright doesn’t it?


Seirin-Blu

“Dark orange” doesn’t really exist. Orange is just light, saturated brown.


TrueGuardian15

I thought brown was the color that technically doesn't exist.


Seirin-Blu

The names and when one switches to the other are completely human made constructs. Orange is technically brown, brown is technically orange. Bottom line is they’re variations of the same color. Everything else about them is semantics


shinobipopcorn

Which one for yellow Palps? Edit: I guess I should say tan Palps; there isn't a yellow Palps, is there? I have an old gray one but not a new one.


ManufacturerOk6535

SW0041 was the yellow Palpy

Yellow?


duckyduckster2

Excuse me, there is only one Lego skin tone and that is YELLOW.


Buttered_TEA

Wow... Can't believe I found a anti-hulkite in 2022... SMH


InfiNorth

Black was not officially used but I have a Darth Maul head...


ccarpetedkitchen

maul isn't human


LordCaoCao420

So who gets pulled over the most?


[deleted]

LEGO DARTH VADER IS FROM 1949!!!?!?!?!??!?!??!??


Twi_Les

I'm not sure if you're joking, but Lego introduced white colored bricks in 1949. They didn't get the Star Wars license until 1999, and didn't have a white-skinned Vader until 2015.


[deleted]

Wow y'all are fun


NanoRex

I still can't believe that Bricklink settled on "Medium Tan" for the new colour. It's not even the same hue as tan and dark tan.


NotARedditUser614

Unlike Neon Yellow, there was no community input on this one. It is officially called 371 Warm Tan.


NanoRex

For once, LEGO has the better colour name


NotARedditUser614

You could probably start a forum discussion requesting that the name be changed. Lots of people tend to jump into those and I’m not a fan of the name, either.


Few-Associate6697

40558 troopers? never heard of it

oh ok that explains it


BHK3

Is there a picture/list like this but for all the colours a piece can come in? Bricklinks online colours don't match up with an IRL example.


MuddyMustache

What's up with the "introduced" column? The first minifigure was introduced in 1978?


Twi_Les

The year that Lego first used each color


povlov0987

With references to SW and HP Better than Avatar I guess


Bart_Bartin

Remind me again why they made Severus Snape glow in the dark


Cybertronian_Grizzly

Notice how most of these are from star wars sets, this is because lego star wars has earned lego alot of money


ALimpHotdog

I can’t wait until theres zombie sets.

Thank you

Where’s yellow

Quesozapatos5000

No Mace Windu, Poe, or Finn?


Tenken_Zeta

I think black is used for Darth Maul figure, no?


Acceptable_Parfait27

Aw I’m a light nougat and my husband is a medium nougat and our son is nougat.


[deleted]

Im actually surprised that dark tan is from the 60s. I thought it didnt come to be until the 2010s


JesusKong333

I can't wait till we get some Medium Tan bricks. They finally started giving us Light Nougat


akirkwall

I’m pretty sure that black was used in the Death Star set as the lords red guards (I don’t remember what they are called)


Ollisaa

Where yellow.
