This isn't a problem or anything, it just struck me as odd. I was browsing through the peeron inventories of the new Designer sets when I noticed that while the edge lines on most of the CAD rendered part pictures were black, some were rendered with (...)

(...) Well, it's like this -- some of the images are generated with black edges, and some of them are generated with colored edges. In most cases, I made deliberate choices about the color combinations. For example, the trans-colors mostly have (...) (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad)

Hi Steve, Are all of the color numbers on this page correct? I saw the image for Sand Green ((URL) ) and realized that I have been using a custom color in one of my current cad projects. I changed the needed parts from my color to 378, and got very (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, basically. The LDraw color codes are generally assigned by finding an existing, dithered, color that somewhat resembles the desired color. For Partsref, I really wanted to get as close the actual LEGO colors as possible. The scripts that (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I've been thinking about this a little bit, and I'd like to propose a solution. I think that with the next parts update, we should include a "colors.lst" file. The format could either be a modified version of the ldlite color command [1] or a (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
