Daniel, You can do whatever you want if you dare to edit the POV file before rendering. POVRay isn't that difficult to fafthom, and there are lots of things you can do that creates a better render. Like this: (URL) for example (I think I can still (...) (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I have two comments. First of all, it appears that you divided the colors in ldconfig.ldr by 256, instead of dividing by 255. For example, blue in ldconfig.ldr has RGB values of 0, 51, 178. Dividing these by 256 yields the values you have below, (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
