   I did a color comparison of the color orange in LDraw:



The brick on the left is the current LDraw color 462

The brick in the middle is color 484, the dither of Yellow and Red (the dither of Red and Yellow, 334, is currently defined as Gold Chrome)

The brick on the right is LDLite color 25

While none of them are perfect the one that comes cosest is the LDLite color. Since this color is not allowed in part files, the next best choice is color 484. The current define (462) seems way to yellow.

Why are we using 462 as Orange? I think we should change this to 484.

Any comments?

I personally prefer 484 over both 25 & 462, although this may be an optical trick (brain sees a progression, and logically picks the middle color as the correct color). But 462 is defintely too yellowish.

P.S. I FTXed Orion’s message.

Another solution is to leave things alone, but change the applications palette to suit the user's taste. Color is tricky. (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
