The LSC is trying to come up with rules for colors for both LDConfig.ldr and
official parts. We are having an internal disagreement about whether the
so-called “dither” colors are still needed for use in patterned and sticker
parts. Since none of us have much experience with authoring these parts, we
decided that we needed to get the opinions of existing authors of such parts.
Please note: we are specifically looking for opinions from people who have
authored patterned/sticker parts. That isn’t to say that we will ignore
other input, but be aware that such input will have less bearing on our
decision than input from patterned/sticker part authors.
At this point, we’ve come up with three possible options:
- Explicitly allow “dither” colors in official patterned/sticker parts. Right now, they are used, but we could not find anywhere in any specification where they are even mentioned. This option would essentially officially recognize the current status quo. (I’m not aware of any “dither” colors being used outside of patterns/stickers, but we don’t intend to allow that.)
- Explicitly disallow “dither” colors in all official parts, but allow RGB colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB) in their place in patterned/sticker parts.

It would be very interesting which applications can not work with the (RGB
colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB)).
Are they useful/necessary/developed?
If someone has those application to test and make a summary of that would be
great.
