Since no software can handle the file right now, I suggest the format is changed into:
0 COLORDEF color name edgecolor r g b dr dg db material
COLORDEF in stead of COLOR to avoid confusion with ldlite COLOR.
For edgecolor you can also use extended colors 0x02RRGGBB,
which is supported by MLCad/LDView/L3P/L3Lab,
see http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.html#extcol
"a" is left out (since it is always 255 ?)
"da" is left out, use material=transparent.
You can specify "dr dg db" as "-1 -1 -1", which means no dithering.
It is easier than replicating the "r g b" values, and is less error prone.
"material" added, can be normal/transparent/rubber/metallic/glowing
The rubber is a convenient shortcut, as a "0 MATERIAL RUBBER"
in the tire files would be preferred.
Then you could easily have a (virtual) green rubber tire.
Example:
0 // Code ColorName EdgeColor R G B DR DG DB Material
0 COLORDEF 0 Black 8 33 33 33 -1 -1 -1 normal
0 COLORDEF 1 Blue 0 0 51 178 -1 -1 -1 normal
0 COLORDEF 21 GlowDark 0x277cc00 224 255 176 -1 -1 -1 glowing
0 COLORDEF 25 Orange 0x2000000 249 96 0 -1 -1 -1 normal
0 COLORDEF 33 TransBlue 0x2002266 0 32 160 -1 -1 -1 transparent
0 COLORDEF 256 RubberBlack 0x2000000 33 33 33 -1 -1 -1 rubber
0 COLORDEF 334 ChromeGold 15 196 0 38 255 220 0 metallic
0 COLORDEF 375 RubberGray 8 193 194 193 -1 -1 -1 rubber
0 COLORDEF 383 ChromeSilver 8 255 255 255 193 194 193 metallic
