Hi, I sorted a: [LEGOSet 7019] ...and oddly, the treasure chest had an old brown base, and a new brown lid. Weird. First time I've noticed a mix of old and new in a set, but also odd in that it would seem that treasure chests and treasure chest lids (...)

I have been objective to the standard part colour combinations from TLG for a few years now. This post is not a bashing of new greys or browns. Axles have always been black, so to friction pins. Many parts have always been produced in few colours. (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, FTX) !!

(...) Victory! I used this method to get the stone colors, and everything is turning out right. In conclusion, here are the three stone hex numbers: Dark Stone Gray: 0x02635F61 Medium Stone Gray: 0x02A3A2A4 Light Stone Gray: 0x02E5E4DE I've been (...)

(...) That's correct. The "next version" of L3P will support it, as far as I know, but it's impossible to say when that will be out. LDView does support it, and LDGLite might. However, the current L3P does support 12-bit dithered colors 24-bit color (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)

(...) MLCad doesn't currently use ldconfig.ldr but other apps should (l3p, ldview, etc..) Specifying the number they recognise should be enough. (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)

(...) I downloaded the ldconfig.ldr file and replaced mine in case it was outdated. There are two colors in the file that look like what I need: 0 !COLOUR Stone_Gray CODE 71 VALUE #A3A2A4 EDGE 0 0 !COLOUR Dark_Stone_Gray CODE 72 VALUE #635F61 EDGE 0 (...)

(...) In your LDraw install directory (usually C:\LDraw), there should be a file of color definitions, ldconfig.ldr. You can also find it at (URL). This file includes RGB values for colors, that might work better than the values on the colorguide (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)

(...) Hi David, As far as I can work out, MLCad does not currently support the colours defined in ldconfig.ldr. It doesn't seem to work for me anyway. But you can define custom colours in your models, using the colour dialog you get by clicking (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)

(...) Hi David, The only way I've found is to use some other colours for them and then remap the colour definitions in POVray. l3p doesn't like the colours and converts them completely wrong. Tim (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.color)

Dark Stone Gray I have been attempting to find or create these colors in MLCAD, but I have not been fully successful. I’ll also be rendering with these (...)
