Hmm. "You may think this is easy, but wait 'til I've explained it to you!" (One
of my father's favourite standard joke.)
I don't know how much difference it will make, but current standard colors are
much better than the 16 original LDraw color palette. Most of the colors are
significantly darker, some are very different. The dithering was made with the
original palette, now should we use these or the new, improved colors as
components in the dithering?

Of course, I mean the blending, not the dithering...

Good thinking. Since the old colours were derived from the EGA colour palette I
reckon the dithers would have to be derived from it too. Otherwise you could end
up with some very different blends.

Also I am thinking that we have to use the original color values for the color 0
- 15 to build the blended colors. Otherwise we get other colors.
This range should be known by every LDraw related application.and only
overwritten by entries found in the LDConfig.ldr.
