NAME
LEGO::Colors - Set of LEGO Color data
SYNOPSIS
use LEGO::Colors;
use strict;
my @system_names = LEGO::Colors->get_all_system_names();
my %color_map = LEGO::Colors->get_color_names_for_system(
'system' => 'Peeron',
);
my $green = LEGO::Colors->get_color("Green");
my $gray = LEGO::Colors->get_color(
color => "Light Gray",
'system' => "BrickLink",
);DESCRIPTION
This is a data storage class used to maintain a list of commonly used LEGO colors and their associated RGB values. See LEGO::Color for more information.
Different online sources of LEGO information use slightly different names for LEGO colors. I have chose a set of names to consider the "default", and those names are used in this module as the default color names. A color name aliasing system is available for access to names from other sources. Please see the SYSTEMS section of the documentation for more information.
All color and system names are case and whitespace INsensitive. That is, "Dark Red", "darkred" and "dA RkrE d" are all considered the same.
METHODS
- get_all_system_names
-
Returns a list of all known color naming system names. Takes no arguments.
- get_color_names_for_system
-
Returns a hash mapping default color names to their equivalent color names in the provided system. Takes one named argument, "system", which is optional. If omitted, default color names will be mapped to themselves, otherwise they will be mapped to the color names from the specified naming system.
- get_color
-
Returns a LEGO::Color object representing the color named by the input arguments. Can take arguments in two forms; if a single string value is provided then it is assumed to be the color name from the default naming system. Otherwise, arguments can be passed as name => value pairs. The currently supported arguments are 'color', which is required, and 'system', which is optional and will default to the default system if not provided.
COLORS
The following colors are available, named here using the default naming system:

The color names above represent the default naming system to which all other names are relative.
SYSTEMS
Each system has a name an then a list of color name mappings, from the default name to that system's name. Cases where the names are the same will be omitted, so these lists will only contain areas of contention. All color systems contain entries for all colors.
The following alternate naming systems are available:
System Name: Peeron
Default Name Peeron Name
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark Blue NavyBlue
Dark Gray DkGray
Dark Orange DkOrange
Dark Pink DkPink
Dark Red DkRed
Light Gray Gray
Light Green LtGreen
Light Orange LtOrange
Light Violet LtViolet
Light Yellow LtYellow
Lime Green Lime
Medium Blue MdBlue
Pearl Light Gray PearlLtGray
----------------------------------------------------------------------The information above represents the color names used by the amazingly good LEGO inventory website, Peeron, at www.peeron.com. The color information was gathered from their color chart, at: http://peeron.com/inv/colors
System Name: Bricklink
Default Name Bricklink Name
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lime Green Lime

If your favorite naming system is missing, or the data provided here is inaccurate or incomplete, please feel free to get in touch with me and I will make any appropriate modifications to a future release of this module. Note that it is also possible for you to make modifications to this file in your local installation and thus provide any desired color naming system.
Future Work
Adding more colors to both default and alternate naming systems.
Known Issues
None at this time.
