On that note, let me toss in my $2.
I agree with Cary and Steve that dithering should go. Who needs it?
The renderer should be able to convert from true color to dithered
colors if the display is underpowered. If you must have it for some
special effect like pearlescent sprinkles, then add it to the material
section. So colors should be 0xAARRGGBB because that's the way
I like to parse them. AA should be somewhere between FF and 00 for
transparent colors. (perhaps 80?)
I think the true color edge colors need the high bits to distinguish
them from color indices, so I vote for 0x2RRGGBB for that.
Multiple material properties are separated by the word MATERIAL.
Contrived examples with completely bogus colors.
