It is definitely useful with colour numbers for the new LEGO colours, but I
hope nobody will use them until DOS users have access to a program that
can handle those colour codes.

Paul, can you distribute a quick-and-dirty command line edition of LDLite
for DOS users?

Three of the new colors have two codes: one in the range 17-23,25, and
another in the dithered color range.  The other five new colors only
have a single code in the 17-23,25 range.  How about if we identified
a secondary code in the dithered color range for these other new
colors?  These will be more backward-compatible with LDraw, and Paul
could (if willing) add support for these codes in LDLite as well.

Here are the five colors:
20     LtPurple
21     Glow-in-the-Dark
22     Purple
23     PurpleBlue
25     Orange

And some dithered-color possibilities (these are off the top of my
head, I don't have any pieces handy to compare):

509    LtPurple
378    Glow-in-the-Dark
276    Purple
405    PurpleBlue
334,492    Orange (1)

To make reference easier, I've posted a DAT for an LDraw color chart
to lugnet.cad.dat.

(1) on my monitor, in LDLite, 492 looks more like LEGO orange than
color #25.
