(...) Do you mean that original LDraw accepts color 48, 65, 133 without error message? I didn't know that. Pity L3Lab (and L3P v1.3 which I no longer use)don't act that way. If so, I guess I stand corrected. And blushing. But yet, with a little (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Just to be clear: all colors from 0 to 511 (except 16 and 24) are true LDraw colors. For color codes less than 256, LDraw would use the lowest 4 bits to determine the color value. The sixth bit would determine transparency. The other bits were (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
