Because of this, I would strongly recommend using the old dither algorithm
for
the default color of all colors in the 256-511 color number region.
Entries in
LDConfig.ldr would then override these default colors.  Please note that
entries
in this region are designed to be similar to the original dither color.
The
color numbers were picked so that software that didn't support
LDConfig.ldr
would produce similar output.

So I will take over parts of the build in color table in the range of 256 to
511. During this step the programm
will convert these dittered colors into a single color which is than a
mixture of both colors.

I guess this is what we all would like to have.

Alternativly I can load the internal color table and just overwrite colors
defined in ldconfig.ldr

I'm open at this point ... however you like

(...) I think Travis' wording may be confusing. Don't use "the old dither algorithm". MLCad 3.30 draws colors 256-511 as *solid* colors. That's better than using the stippling algorithm from previous MLCad versions. (No new/current software stipples (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) As it happens, the LSC has been dealing with this very issue for the past few months. There is no mention made of dither colors in any of the current LDraw specs (including the official parts restrictions). They somehow got dropped (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
