In stead of using color 95 (which L3P doesn't understand because it is a custom color)
you can use color 0x026E99C9 which is understood by most programs.
In the color dialog simply enter 0x026E99C9 as the color number.

To calculate a number like 0x026E99C9 go to the custom color dialog,
enter your RGB values, choose "24 bit Color Solid" and hit OK.

Using extended colors (http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.html#extcol) has the advantage
that you don't have to modify the POV file each time you generate it.

L3P does not support the COLOR meta command
