Huh. There used to be documentation of this (I thought), but I can't
find one now.
It's pretty simple - when you want to mix two of the colors from 0 to 15
(black, blue, green, teal, red, dark pink, brown, gray, dark gray, light
blue, bright green, turquoise, salmon, pink, yellow, white (hey, I did
that from memory!)), use the formula:
256 + [color 1] + [color 2] * 16
The edge-color of your dithered color will be the edge-color for color
1. So, for example, the edge color for 272 (blue/black) will be the
edge-color for blue, which is 9 (light blue) in LDraw (other programs
use different edge colors).
