I have had parts on the Part Tracker held because they used one of these colors.
That means it is limiting.

Color numbers 32-47 and 256-511 is not every color under the rainbow.

This is exactly the problem.

If this is the case, then why are we discussing re-submitting official part
files to replace certain colors? Just add them to the config file!

These were already a commonly-used convention when the ldconfig file was first
proposed.

The whole problem with this that instead of letting patterned part authors
choose a pretty good color match from a small set of color codes and submitting
the part to the PT, you want them to:
1) request a new color code
2) have that request approved by some person or committee
3) wait for the next part release so the new color can be included in the config
file (because any part that uses a strange code on the PT would get held)
and then finally they can create the part and submit it to the part tracker.
The PT is already dysfunctional (there are prefectly fine files on it from 2003
and earlier); this would make it completely useless.
