Which the production of the 2004 LEGO sets and the THREE new colors (Brown,
Gray, and Light Gray) how are were defining these colors in LDraw?

What RGB definitions to I need to place in MLCAD to represent these new
colors?

hi ahui,

were you serious when you posted this ROFL? do you really think we should
honor a fool's work by defining new color numbers?

w.
I am serious about the question!  Why? Well when I first posted the question
I was asking becuase I (Ahui Herrera, a LEGO fan) wanted to know how to
render the new colors.

However, part of the curcioisty is also to [get prepared] for when someone
emails the LDraw help desk asking the very same question!  So I (Ahui
Hererra, as the Help Desk POC) need to know the answer.

LEGO has made the colors and LDraw.org's mission is to [represent ALL LEGO
bricks in whatever color they are made].  Its not a matter of if we like the
new colors or not.  Its a matter of LDraw.org following its mission and
representing [ALL BRICKS IN ALL COLORS] done by LEGO.

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"]

So please can someone help me out and inform me that the new color RGBs will
be. Note that at this time no email about the new color RGBs have come in but
you never know.

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
