(...) I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I think there might be a big difference between the representation of RGB values in a dye based color system for bricks, another one for printing on paper, and a color system for computer (...)

(...) renamed to "ldcfgalt.ldr" (...) Hmmm this would be best solved with an additional command in the file - say CATEGORY or CLASTER or whatever. Anyway, modifications to the synthax can only be applied by the LSC. (...) Good point. I'll modify the (...) (15 years ago, 29-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I think group sub-sorting might be more trouble than it's worth. Editors can just sort the colors by Hue-Saturation-Brightness. That's what Bricksmith does. It's a simple mathematical transformation. (URL) Allen (15 years ago, 18-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Now that's what I'm talking about! I just didn't say it right. ;) If you're not going to list the colors in ldconfig.ldr sorted by number then pick a useful ordering like Hue-Saturation-Brightness. Alphabetic order is not much better than (...) (15 years ago, 18-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Each program that reads and uses the LDconfig.ldr file should know how best to display the colors. If the program shows color swaths, then it does make good sense for the program to display them in a Hue-Saturation-Brightness order. For (...) (15 years ago, 18-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Personally I find it harder to remember all the silly names than to remember the basic colors by number. If they aren't sorted by color then I still want red, blue, yellow, black, white, and grey near the top of the list. The numeric order has (...) (15 years ago, 19-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you've gotta sort alphabetically, I say don't discriminate. Sort the Lego core colors in the 30000 range alphabetically too. What? You say can't do that, because those numbers mean something? How could that be? I'm gonna (...) (15 years ago, 19-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
