The way I see it, we probably will never switch to calling colors by
their LEGO names - some, like 'Lig. Yellowich Orange' just don't work
for me :) It would be nice to correlate the names we use to the entries
in the table. For that matter, it would be nice to be able to have a
comprehensive chart, that includes all the known naming conventions. The
best bit of data I see getting from LEGO's chart is just the RGB/Pantone
values for the colors. Those we could use, especially in LDraw/POV
applications.
