hmm ... as far as I know we haven't even defined half of the colors used by the
company (I don't recall seeing the ldraw number for "Dark Curry" ;-):

http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/colorguide.cgi

if the saying "first come first served" is still true the new colors go at the
end of the list and will be defined by 2008-13-32 ;-) [willy tschager
desperately seeking the color number for "silver flip/flop"]

recently I did a rendering with all different shades of gray (believe it or not
) using a range from 200,200,200 to 165,165,165. I assigned them color number
504 'til 511. I added new hex-values to the l2p_colr.tab file and defined the
custom colors in lg_color.inc 'cos I wanted my pov LGEOized. not using lgeo you
will save hacking the hex by simple including a .inc file into pov.

hope it helps, w
