This is mainly concerned with ML-Cad but I know that L-Draw uses the same

black bricks to white so that they show up better. I have a feeling that
there is a variable because i have seen green bricks with light green (as
opposed to grey) outlines so so if any one could pointme in the right
direction I would be grateful

LDLite supports a 0 COLOR meta-statement, where you can select the
edge-color for a specific color code.  Quoting from the LDLite 1.6 html
file:

The syntax of the COLOR statement is:

0 COLOR index name edge_color r g b alpha d_r d_g d_b d_alpha
note: you can spell it COLOUR and it will still work.

index       is the decimal value specifying the palette index, 0 to 255
           excluding 16 and 24.
name        is an alphanumeric name you can use to refer to the color. This
           is redundant with the COLORNAME command, but is included for
           convenience.
edge_color  is the decimal value specifying the color to use for edge (#24)
           colors.
r g b alpha are the red, green, blue and alpha components of the first
           dithered color. They are numbers from 0 (black) to 255 (pure
           color). The alpha value should be 255 for the first color.
           Note: You can use hex numbers, such as 0x00 and 0xff if you
           wish.
d_r d_g d_b d_alpha
           are the red, green, blue and alpha values of the second
           dithered color. If you want a solid color, set these to be the
           same as the r g b alpha values. If you want a transparent
           color, set d_alpha to 0 and the second dithered color will not
           be drawn, creating the classic LDRAW transparent effect.

The statement for white edges on black would be:

0 COLOR 0 Black 15 0 0 0 255 0 0 0 255

Unfortunately, when I open a model with a COLOR statement in ML-CAD, it
gives me an error! :(

(...) This is because MLCad blocks modifications to colors from 0 to 63 (including). All other colors can be modified by the user. I did that because I believed that this colors are fix (quasi standard) and must not be modified. If everyone here (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad)
