(...) I don't think grey images should be necessary--but why not a white part on a white background, to indicate monochromaticity instead of the colour white?

(...) Highly unlikely. There are 2,500 parts * 20 colors = 50,000 images! It would be nice if you could generate parts from MLCAD in Batch Mode.

Would it be possible to set up a script to do all the parts in all the colors? If so, I'd be willing to run it, process the pictures, and host them from my simplenet site.
