Is there an LDraw color code for silvery metal other than bright chrome?
I'm thinking something more along the lines of dull silver-grey,
like the wheels on some Technic sets.  Any guesses?

If I recall correctly, the FAQ says to use the same color code (#383).
If ray-tracing (using POV-RAY), you can distinguish be encoding
a variant of the translated color -- I'm assuming you'll be using L3P --
to have a non-reflective version of 383 as the "dull" silver-grey.

Hope this helps.

(...) Yes indeed! Would I simply change the reflectivity of the color? That seems pretty easy; I'll try it when I get home. Thanks! Dave! (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
