What I would personally like, is an LDraw colour chart that includes every
official colour from <http://guide.lugnet.com/color/>.
For my own personal use I've made include files for POV-Ray that assign all
those colours to unused LDraw numbers (see <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-
bin/gallery.cgi?f=99812>), but until they have official numbers, you can't
use them in a model and expect that model to look correct on somebody
else's installation.

| (...) ditto (...) So what colour would you use if not the official colour? Ok, so it may look wrong until the programs are updated to reflect what Lego is doing with it's colour palette, but is this really a valid reason not to use official LDraw (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
