Indeed, basically it doesn't matter what range you use. I just wanted to point
out that 'other' ranges are rounded upon hexadecimal notation (due to math
advantages). So I suggested also using that for these new ldc numbers for
consistency sake.
But human wise 2015 would be more recognizable than #40F (if #400..#EFF would be
used) I guess.
I do think there should be an official 'normal' color ceiling defined by
ldraw.org though. Just like the now (unofficial) 512 ceiling.
