I don't want to come off the wrong way here, but is it really a good idea to be
using a new color in a part so soon after it has been made official? You can
pretty much guarantee it will look wrong in every current program if you do so.
Also, I though official parts had to look correct when rendered by LDraw. (Mind
you, I'm not sure this requirement is such a good idea any more, but I thought
it was the case.) Is it now OK to use colors in parts that aren't supported by
the original LDraw?
