is an unpatterned version always needed? especially for special parts which dont have an unpatterned base?
(for example, the cardboard sheets are hard to uncolor without destroying the part)
and some are dual mould shortcuts...

found some more (which arent even named as pattern because it is part of the function):
u9616a/b
u9618a/b
862b has a big !HELP warning that this part doesnt exist unpatterned
some shortcuts also directly color-code stuff without having a fully uncoloured shortcut.

In every case I can think of, yes. I'm not going to presume what's useful for the user.
