  Here's a pic of our PB 4-Hole. Let me know if you need a higher quality version,
I can email it through.


The image has been added. Thank you!


  Totally unrelated, would it be worth mentioning in the Colour Guide additional
silver notes that 131 was reformulated? That's where I got tripped up as
far as classifications go. I know we won't get 131 v1 and v2 as separate
colours, but a line mentioning the change would make things a bit less muddy.
Every person I asked while I was trying to suss this interpreted the 2006 paragraph
the same as I did. Other colour notes have mentions of reformulation/variants,
so I don't think it'd be out of place.


I have updated the 2006 section with a simple edit.


  I've been trying to clear this Kraahkan up for so long, this is huge. Thank
you so much, Randy. You're the man(dy)


Happy to help.

Might be worth noting that the reformulation AND the original were both in play
during 2006. As written, it reads as 'there were no 131 v1 parts used in
2006.'

Proposed edit:

2006: The LEGO Group brings back 131 Silver, and a lighter reformulated version,
for use simultaneously with 296 Cool Silver. 296 Cool Silver is phased out, and
not used past 2006. The reformulated 131 Silver is the main silver used after
2006. Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray are still assigned to parts arbitrarily
based on appearance. There are still two LEGO silver colors mapped to Pearl Light
Gray (131 Silver and 296 Cool Silver) and one mapped to Flat Silver (131 Silver).


These color notes are not meant to be an exhaustive lesson in how LEGO handled
the colors. These color notes are meant to describe how the colors were handled
and mapped within the BrickLink database over its history. I don't want to
muddle up the BrickLink history too much with the LEGO history. That information
is better left for other places.
