Given that ldconfig.ldr is part of the LDraw parts library, I was referring to
the color reference on the LDraw.org site (noted in another message). However,
it might make sense to use the colors above, since they came directly from Lego,
and are therefore the "official" values.
On the other hand, since a vast majority of the people using the tools won't
have a calibrated display, the "correct" values won't match the bricks in their
hands either when used on-screen.
We could just leave the file alone. The colors that are there now work
reasonably well, and as Steve pointed out, it's impossible to satisfy everyone.
When I posted my message, I thought is was simply an error in translation, as it
were. Had that been the case, then it would seem pretty obvious that it should
be updated. But since it isn't the case, there isn't nearly as good an argument
for the update.
