If you click the "More" button next to the 16 standard colour buttons, you get a
dialog that displays all MLCad's colours. The colour box can be scrolled to
reveal them. Hovering your mouse over a colour swatch pops up the colour name,
unfortunately many of the swatches don't match the actual colour, but both
chrome silver (383) and gold (334) are there.
But the definitive place is ldconfig.ldr in your LDraw directory - that is where
all the "standard" colours are defined.
