The LDraw FAQ is the definitive list.

Way cool. We can never have too many Lego CAD programs.

(oops-the RGB for #5 is in the list)
I'd look to Suzanne's excellent chart at <http://www.baseplate.com/colors/>
for RGB values that aren't listed in the LDraw FAQ. Note that Suzanne has
recorded as-correct-as-possible color values, while the LDraw FAQ values
are sometimes skewed for usability purposes.

Code 39 was the color James Jessiman used for Clear (code 47). It is also
used as the clear color in some composite window-parts. It is no longer
common to use code 39 for Clear (ie, I don't know of anyone who does this).
