You'll need to manually go into your computer, open up the individual LDraw
parts, and change the colors of portions of the pieces. Follow these steps:
1. In MLCAD, determine the part numbers of the NXT brick, the NXT servo motor,
the NXT touch sensor, the NXT sound sensor, the NXT light sensor, and the NXT
ultrasonic sensor.
2. Go into the LDraw parts directory on your computer (check C:\LDraw\Parts) and
open up one of these parts in MLCAD - its filename will be its part number. Once
the file has opened, click a section of the part that is supposed to be light
stone gray. Look for the MLCad toolbar button that selects parts of the same
color, then click it. Now, press "c" on your keyboard to change the color, and
paste the number for light stone gray. Enter that and it should be replaced with
light stone gray. Save the part.
3. Repeat step 2 for each of the parts mentioned above.

| That did it! For some reason the parts in question were set to "Chrome", which would explain the dingy gray color in the renderings. Thanks David John (17 years ago, 18-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
