Hi folks,

* 100% backwards compatible with the old LDConfig.ldr file
http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/ldconfig.ldr
* Uses LEGO RGB values
* Uses LEGO numbering where possible
* Lists the matched LEGO name
* Uses Bricklink names
So it'd be goodbye for Stone Gray? :-( Well, I can live with that..

* Contains all colors currently listed at Bricklink
* Colors are listed in alphabetical order
* New color definitions for "Glitter" and "Speckle" as defined by the LSC
Nice! :-)

Shall we restore the historical LDraw colors for the range from 0 to 50 since
the new colors look unnatural and washed out? This has to discussed before we
officially ship the new file with the 02-2009 parts update.
Hmm... looking at the new colours I'd be otherwise fine sans the new Black...
looks too bluish for me.

Another issue is consistency. While some programs of the LDraw System of Tools
already support the LDConfig.ldr file and use it instead of an inbuild color
system some don't. In order to keep the colors consistent throughout the LDraw
System of Tools it would be desirable to have all programs switch to the
LDConfig file.
Well that's going to be quite a job considering MLCad's and L3P's unmaintained
nature..

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Hi folks, working on and off for almost a year with Scott Wardlaw, Alex Taylor and with the help from Joshua Delahunty we put together a new LDConfig file which hopefully fills in where the old version failed: (URL) file has the following (...)
