There is the LEGO Parts List link on James Jessiman's page. This list
references part numbers by what colors and sets they came in, and how many in
the set.
Sadly, with James passing, the list has not been updated in a long time. But
with older sets it is still quite useful.
Of course, there have been many changes to the part numbers in LDraw, which can
confuse things as the page uses original numbers he had. But with a little
searching, you can usually track down what is needed.
