I found a much easier way to include these colors
Add the following lines after the radiosity include statement. If you
don’t add them after the radiosity include, the colors will be overrriden
by the rad color file.
#include "<LUGNET Color>.inc"
#declare <L3PColor> = material{ texture{ <LUGNET Color> } }

Ah, O.K. I think I see how this works. You’re effectively telling POV-RAY,
“here’s a color file I want you to use. Now, here’s what color you should
assign that file to. In other words, when I say RED from now on, I want you
to use that LUGNET color file that you included earlier.” Is that a fair
recap?

Yes, you got it exactly

A couple more questions though... I hope you don’t mind.
I’ve been using LPub as my gateway into POV-Ray. It seems to do a good job
getting a basic .pov file ready for rendering. However, from what I’ve read
and from suggestions that people offer, it seems like you will almost always
end up going in and editing the .pov file manually. Is this a fair
statement?
What I cannot seem to figure out is where in the .pov file the output size
is
defined. In other words, let’s say I set my output to 800x600 in LPub. POV
most definitely then renders to that size. But no where in the .pov file
can
I find a reference to 800x600. I’m guessing it’s being converted into
another scale value, but I can’t quite find that either.

In POV there should be a little drop down list in the upper left. It’ll have
something like 600x800, A.A. 0.3 displayed. This is where you set the picture
size. Also, if there are any +W or +H commands in the text box next to that
list, remove them.
