core colors, so the color decoder code in any program can identify them a such
e.g (#400..#EFF (1024..3839)).

This can be done with the caveat that we start with something like say 2001 or
3001 in order to preserve the original LEGO numbering starting from 1 to 300.
for 2001 the TLG color number would be "#7D1". Correct?
