It should be possible. I think partsref and maybe peeron do it, but
I suspect they use the ldliterc.dat file to define the custom colors.
I think that file is documented here.
http://ldlite.sourceforge.net/
You put something like this in it.
0 COLOUR 335 SAND_RED 12 212 163 157 255 212 163 157 255
Anyhow, the -c argument is supposed to just accept a hex coded ldlite
extended color in the 0x4000000 to 0x7ffffff range, but there seem to
few bugs in that, darnit! It only takes the number if you convert it
to decimal, and then it seems to have some sort of problem deciding
which quads and triangles are transparent. I'll have to fix that.
Are you using the windows version?
