I've thought about this, because most LDraw-programs (ie, LDLite, L3Lab, MLCAD, L3P,
ldglite, LDView?) provide a way to code color-values directly in some RGB method.
My issue is that different systems (computer systems, graphics systems) render colors
differently. So it would seem 'safer' or more portable to me to stick with a color
ID method, so we'd all know that color 1 (or Blue-0, or whatever) is classic lego
blue. If your system wants to render that as 0000FF, that's fine.

Yes, that would be best -- like the color chart on Peeron cross-references a number
of different sources?

I'd love to, but I've got no time. I hope you get some volunteers.
