This is what the ldconfig.ldr file is. Look for it the LDraw base dir.

Oh boy, I've never noticed that one! Must be because of its misleading name and
extension. So, what does the A, DR, DG, DB, DA columns stand for? (A is always
= 255, so one can wonder what good it does.)
It should benifit from some more columns, like names and color-numbers for
Peeron and Bricklink. And, with permission from TLC, also LEGO.
What softwares get their data from this file?

Well the spec is changing so these commands will go away.
We (the LSC) are working to get the spec for the color definitions (the !COLOR
Meta coomand) finalize by the next parts release.

LDView currently uses this file and once we finalize the !COLOR command I think
LDGLite, L3P and MLCad will release updates that use it.

A = alpha (transparency)
DR, DG, DB, DA = dithered RGB,A.
If RGB = D(RGB), then the color is solid. If DA=0, the color is transparent.
Otherwise, the color is dithered and/or translucent.

Actually, that kind of information should be set up in a full-fledged (but small)
database.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. And the database should be text-based,
space-delimited, available offline to all softwares that may need the info - and
udpated regulary. In other words: in the new, improved ldconfig.ldr! :)

Tore,
Is this the kind of output you are looking for?
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ClarkCorner/Vintage/ColorTree/ColorCompare/ldconfig.csv
(that link will probably wrap)
That's just some of the info from my Color Tree pages:
http://isodomos.com/VPH/Color
Let me know what you need, or how you need it presented. I'd be glad to help in
any way I can.
HTH,
Clark
