If this is what people are using for black rubber, I can update L3DView to

I think it makes sense to use a special code for rubber, and 256 sounds
like a good choice.

Also, should the colors between 256 and 511 be displayed with a black edge
color?  Does it really matter one way or another?  I am currently using
color 8 (dark grey) as the edge color for these colors.

Let's see.  In LDraw, if dithered color K is constructed out of solid
colors I and J as 256 + I * 16 + J, I believe the edge-color of K will be
the edge-color of J.  This makes sense -- LDraw has a 16-entry array of
edge-colors, and to get an edge-color for any color value, just mask off
everything but the low bits -- EdgeColor(ColorValue bit-and 15).

I like L3Lab's option to show all edges as black.  And LDLite's COLOR
command allows you to specify any defined color as the edge-color (for the
color being defined).

I noticed that the m6596a.dat file which comes with the new version of L3Lab uses color 256 (black + black) for the tires. These apparently display in L3Lab with a black edge color. In addition, Lars' renderings of this model on his L3P page appear (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
