(...) I hadn't thought about this, but I kinda like the idea. The original LDRAW defined values for all color codes, and some of the newer codes were assigned because they are a variation/change from existing colors. The downside of this idea is (...)

Hello, "Travis Cobbs" <tcobbs@REMOVEgmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:KxEAq2.86J@lugnet.com... (...) I used dithered colors in the "Flag 2x2 with Goblets and Grapes" (2335p40).

(...) I have authored patterned parts, and for me this is the only viable option. This has worked just fine for the past decade, and I don't see any good reason why it should be broken. The second option (using 0x2RRGGBB) would just be very (...) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Two things. First of all, is Maersk Blue hard-coded into any part files? I would expect parts that show up in Maersk Blue to have color 16 encoded in the file, and the user to select Maersk Blue as the parts' color when building a model. Since (...)

(...) I don't know if I got that right. Isn't Maersk Blue one of those part colors most wrongfully and misleadingly labeled as a "dithered" color? (...) I suggest the 0x2RRGGBB form is recommended for less "basic"/established pattern and sticker (...) (17 years ago, 7-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) It would be very interesting which applications can not work with the (RGB colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB)). Are they useful/necessary/developed?

(...) For what it counts, I'd go for: * Explicitly disallow "dither" colors in all official parts, but allow RGB colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB) in their place in patterned/sticker parts. This solution would give me the most freedom. I could just (...) (17 years ago, 6-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
