For example, stone colors are not well supported by several programs other than
L3P. If I want to build with these colors I generally use old greys, but it
would be nice that the final rendering be done with real tone hues. That would
need to remap colors 7 and 8 to non-standard colors.

Another example is for NXT parts which were hard coded to color 383 (chrome)
that looks great in MLCad/LDview... but gives a shiny metal when rendered with

You can always make your own "include file" with colour redifinitions in a .dat,
like this experimental file I made some time ago. It redifines pink into medium
blue and corrects the horrible L3 light green:

To use it, all you have to do is call on it in the beginning of the main model
file.
