Firstly,
trying to be a smartass doesn't really work here because we are talking about the toys, NOT the show. It is a Tan decal on the toy. Which is what matters.
Second, I've already mentioned that G1 Ops base colour palette is Red, White and Blue. So just to mention it again, isn't really following a trail of "brilliant" logic, you are actually just paraphrasing an earlier comment.
Third, The Yellow/Orange and
RED* are new inclusions. The lighter colours I mentioned, clearly directly referring to the Yellow/Orange and no other colour, again, that has already been discussed. Which were completely new to OpOp.

Red, not brown. Seeing as this was the same Transmetal chrome red used with OpOp, Dinobot II and Ramulus.

It is really better to positively take part in conversations than try to undermine.
