parts by (optionally) limiting the color picker to colors in which the current
part is available in real-life (e.g. black, white, light gray for axles).

Does anybody know of a good (if any) source to get such information? I'm making
it a self learning thing (like use an axle in black and the limiter for that
part will include black from then on.) But it would be nice to have some kind of
starting situation.
