the model generated by L3P, that contains color definitions? How do you prevent
L3P from replacing your custom colors with the default gray, as it does with
other colors it doesn't already recognize?

I like the idea of sticking with whatever code is commonly assigned to a color

do know that color.

I'm all for good solutions, though!
