Would the plan be to include images for each part in each known colour?

I hope not.  That would limit the site to serving up images in predefined
colors.  Two bad results: the list of predefined colors could become
outdated, and some people might have a reason for making up their own color
values for parts.

I'd rather see the server handling color-correction, as Frank mentions in
his follow-up.

For the decorated parts, at least, I would prefer that the image uses a real
life background colour rather than the default grey. As a reference for parts
sales, etc it would be confusing to say "this is the part, but actually it is
red" - thinking here of torsos mainly, which can look unrecognisable in an
alien colour. Indeed some parts demand this - eg. black castle parts with grey
decoration.

Very true.

Also, complex decorated parts (heads, torsos) could benefit from being rendered
at greater than 100% (with some annotation?)

Hmm.
