Looking to create a piece, and want to order parts from LEGO.com

When I select "mix in colors from existing sets" and then "All pick a brick studs" only 13 colors appear.
I have just been to Pick-a-brick, and found 37 different colors of the flat round 1x1 tile, excluding transparents and studs with print.
Don't know if there is a way for this to pull the data automatically? that would be cool (unsure how often LEGO changes the available items.

Could be really great to have that list updated, and perhaps have the LEGO element number appear somewhere. that would make is easier to cross check availability and order.

So "All pick a brick studs" isn't the same as "All pick a brick tiles" - I can look into the latter when I have time, but it's time consuming to go through and add them.

I did look into pulling them automatically, but this comes with a few issues. Firstly, matching the colors between LEGO and BrickLink confidently is a headache and not always reliable. Secondly, it's a pain to scrape the LEGO website at runtime. Thirdly, I don't think LEGO would be happy about this being scraped frequently.

I see your points

Would it be possible to add the pick a brick names and perhaps also the element/design number

And then if you can't find the brick in the list, you can create you own, and select the color that comes closest..?
then the app user could add in?
