So... I recently got a 44461 (Duplo Cart Lid) in Tiny Blue, which is listed on
BL as Light Blue. I also see from Ryan Howerter's color list (http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php)
that 44534 (Duplo Plant Flower Gear) comes in Tiny Blue, and while the picture
for the part entry doesn't look like Tiny Blue, the box art for 7437 (Gardening
with Stripy) looks like Tiny Blue.

If both these parts (44461 & 44534) are the same color, why are they in different
Known Colors on BL? And why, of all colors, is 44461 Light Blue? That's
not even close.

At a minimum: change 44461 to Medium Blue to match 44534.
Maybe consider changing both to Dark Azure or Maersk Blue.

I would hate to mess with Dark Azure’s intro date. Medium Blue seems the most
benign choice to me

Dark Azure's intro date is already wrong on BL. Obviously, that shirt isn't
Dark Azure, so maybe the intro dates should be edited to exclude anything before
the official release date. Most of the 'darks' and 'sands' are
also wrong due to older parts from the 60s and 70s needing a color to describe
them. I believe Tiny Blue is distinct enough to where it should have its own
BL ID.
