Well, actually there are two forbidden zones; the small at colors 29 through 31
and the large at 48 to 255. Color numbers within those ranges generate errors if
used in L3P and L3Lab. In original LDraw and other really old programs, colors
25-28 will most likely also cause errors as they are hard-coded in L3 programs
and some other more recent tools. I understand that it is of course thought that
programs made today will look the colors up in LDConfig.ldr. But so far we need
current L3P to convert to PovRay.
Using dithered numbers (256-511), like 313 for Maersk Blue, will generate a
somewhat acceptable lightblue from L3P, while an unknown numbers like 29, 92,
and 151 will generate an annoying error and color #7 (lightgray) will be picked
instead.

As far as I remember LDView does a more than decent job converting to PovRay as well as viewer so there is actually no need for L3P or L3Lab - not counting in that accordingly the L3P page (URL) supports the LDConfig.ldr file: "Colors from (...)
