Do you mean that original LDraw accepts color 48, 65, 133 without error message?
I didn't know that. Pity L3Lab (and L3P v1.3 which I no longer use)don't act
that way.
If so, I guess I stand corrected. And blushing.
But yet, with a little weaker support from historic facts, I still appeal (now
in a more humble way) not to use colors 48-255 for defining new colors in
LDConfig.ldr. Even on a borrowed PC with 2.5GHz CPU, LDView is totally
unaccepably slo-o-o-ow with no fast render options making any noticable
difference on huge models, so L3Lab is still my no. 1 everyday life renderer
without any competition.
