I only have up to Nightlife. Are you saying you can't delete recolors from within the game after OFB?
I've got OFB and I've been deleting recolours using this method. Most delete fine. I've had a problem with a few that are attached to something else like countertops that only work with one counterbase. I don't see how a bookcase recolour could be attached to something else - unless it's sharing something with a matching table.... I guess they are from simsquirts by the filenames - you could revisit the site and see what else was in the set.
I'm just wondering if the recolours have ended up with one of those names that's just a long string of numbers. If you downloaded them again, Cleaninstaller would spot if they had duplicates somewhere.

Try deleting your thumbnails and see if that helps. Delete the package files in the Thumbnails folder (under the Sims 2 folder in My Documents). Start up the game and see if the blue thumbnails are still there.
Magicmoon:
That sounds very logical! Ok. There are 5 in there. I had to delete CAS thumbnails once and it seems like it took forever to rebuild it, so I just want to delete the one that affects the objects.
CANHObjectsThumbnails.package
ObjectThumbnails.package
DesignModeThumbnails.package
BuildModeThumbnails.package
CASThumbnails.package
Ok. So it's not the last 2. Which of the first 3 do you think will work?
IgnorantBliss:
Try deleting the second and third one on the list, they are both for objects. The first one on the list is for neighborhood objects, so that's not it. It might be enough to only delete the DesignModeThumbnails.package, because I think that's the one for color options, but there is no harm in deleting them both.
Magicmoon:
Darn, I was really hoping that would work! I deleted the two middle files with no difference in those stupid blue, blinking recolors.
Now I'm completely out of ideas.
