(...) You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback. As I noted in reply to Jon, the colors in the colored images came straight out of LDLite. I'll keep your comments, and try to address them in a future revision. Steve (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

(...) I've always thought of that color as "tan". As in "tanned leather". It's always made sense to me - but then, I'm in Alberta - surrounded by the cattle market. I've never considered it beige.

For the /partsref/keyword/ page, I also compiled most of the words from the part names. The intent of the page is to let people look (...)

Thanks very much! My constructive criticisms: (1) The edge lines don't stand out well enough for these colors: Teal - 3 Brown - 6 Turquoise - 11 Purple - 22 and several other colors could also be improved by more contrastive edge lines.
