Would the plan be to include images for each part in each known colour?

For the decorated parts, at least, I would prefer that the image uses a real
life background colour rather than the default grey. As a reference for parts
sales, etc it would be confusing to say "this is the part, but actually it is
red" - thinking here of torsos mainly, which can look unrecognisable in an
alien colour. Indeed some parts demand this - eg. black castle parts with grey
decoration.

Also, complex decorated parts (heads, torsos) could benefit from being rendered
at greater than 100% (with some annotation?)

Why not add some new meta-commands?
Either:
0 DEAFULTS COLOUR=15 ZOOM=150 (or 1.5)
Or:
0 DEFAULT COLOUR 15
0 DEFAULT ZOOM 1.5
...
In fact, parts of the database could be hosted in the parts' .DAT files

(to be continued in my posting subjected "Parts Database...")
