The colour we usually call "tan" ist "Brick Yellow", Lego colour No. 5.

I ordered some pieces once, and we had some difficulties matching the
colours from Lego Speech to The Real World, but we managed by examining
some sets, the lady from the brand store in the Lego-internal system and
me on Peeron/BL, and matched bricks and colours over the phone.

Another not-so-easy conversion is our beloved old brown, which is "Earth
Orange", colour No. 25 on the Lego list, not to be confused with "our"
Earth Orange, which is something totally different in Lego Speech again...

An official translation list would be fine, indeed.

It would be nice, indeed, if the "Beige" Jake mentiones would be a new
internal name for our "Tan", implying that tan would be universal.

Of course, I'd preferred the old greys and brown on the list instead of
the new stuff, but corporate stupidity is hard to cure indeed.

HTH, Christian
