But apparently the bright shiny colors (and edges) have gone out of

The file is still shipped with the LDraw Parts Library though it has been
renamed to "ldcfgalt.ldr"

We also encourage a switch from the current sorting on numbers to an
alphabetical order of the colors

Hmmm, I'm not sure that helps me any.  If I can't remember the
number for a color, I'd rather they were clustered by basic color
first, then alphabetically by the actual name.  Like this:

  Green:  Bright Green
  Green:  Dark Green
  Green:  Earth Green

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.

I like that info, but I don't really like the way the comments make
the file difficult to scan.  Maybe if you moved the LEGOID comments
further to the right it'd give better visual separation from the ldraw
info.

0 //                LEGOID 26 - Black
0 !COLOUR Black                        CODE   0   VALUE #1B2A34   EDGE #595959

Good point. I'll modify the file accordingly.

(...) 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 (...)
