Missing Colors


Missing Colors
#1
Hi LDraw Community,

I did some analyzing of the LDraw Library today and I noticed something odd.
I found 22 Color Codes that are used by Subpart References in the Library that are not included in the LDConfig.ldr File. Are there any other files for color descriptions or are those colors simply wrong?

Color Codes:
  • 261
  • 486
  • 358
  • 485
  • 260
  • 354
  • 295
  • 382
  • 277
  • 264
  • 276
  • 391
  • 374
  • 353
  • 392
  • 283
  • 300
  • 258
  • 130
  • 270
  • 487
  • 263

And they are found in following parts:
Link to color references

missing_colors.txt is the csv to the screenshot color_references im someone needs it

As you can see those are almost all official parts and just one unofficial, thats why I am wondering.

Greetings
Niko

Simple answer: Dithered or blended colors!

Dithered/blended colors are no longer allowed in official parts, but I would guess that two things are probably going on:
  • People aren't noticing the illegal color codes.
  • Many of the official parts found were created before this restriction went into place.
In any event, handling dithered/blended colors should be considered a requirement for anyone writing LDraw software. Treating them as blended is quite straightforward.
