I myself have seen that color reference, but preferred to follow a more...
obscure, but accurate reference. In short, I use Color 366 to get the gold that
LEGO fans are familiar with. Copying some lines from POV-Ray's representation
of Color 383 (Silver), a metallic/chromy version can be acheived. To get a good
gold color, Always use 366. I use 462 for Orange in LDraw or MLCAD, but 334
looks more official in POV-Ray.
Check out my color chart for further details.

I want to know who has made the "Tile 1x2 with Computer Keyboard Pattern"
(that is, if anyone has...)?
