This is one of those who would have thought about it as a problem stories. It's great to read because it helps you think about the problems most of us already have solutions we take for granted. At the bottom it does have some AI sprinkles... Use an AI tool to figure out the colors of bricks to fill in the missing link.

Question: do the colors really matter?
A 1970s ad from Lego played up how kids don't see a problem making their beautiful truck out of whatever pieces were available.
I would have been a color snob, but all I had in 1979 were red bricks.

The top comment on the article itself has a great idea to map colors to textures so the blind could identify the colors as well. With the rise of cheap knock offs of LEGO these days, I wonder if one of those could do that.
