The yellow dinghy in the vote is numbered 30086.
So what to do?
  Use the 4106548 for the yellow version, and add a tan one later?

This is my vote.  If 4106548 is always yellow, without exception, hard-code
the yellow color in the .DAT.  (but see below)  A possibly more sensible
alternative is to do parts 30086 and 30087 each as color 16, and do a
shortcut-and-official-part-file 4106548 (1) as color 14.

  Give up and give it a 3-digit number and ignore all other numbers?

Bad, no, can't.  3-digit numbers are increasingly rare, so this should only be
done as an absolute, final resort.

Some more problems from the current vote:  (from Joshua Delahunty)
81155 is always black, with a yellow pattern
[...etc...]

There is some precedent here, and it helps shoot down my earlier suggestion
(see above).  For example, the Train Caternary Holder (2880) is always black
(as far as I have seen), but is color 16 in the LDraw parts library.

1.  Has anyone tried calling this number?  Probably gets you the "Foundation
To Save The Blue-Footed Honking Tree Moose".  :-P

  Part Numbering Crisis in LDraw
 
Everyone, We are facing a major problem in numbering parts in LDraw. For quite some time I have been trying to follow a 3 rule plan for numbering pieces: 1. Full accuracy when possible 2. Use official TLG numbers if we have them 3. Use temporary (...) (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
