There's that, but I have insert menus for that (or did, I am still
working on new ones). Mostly I find "white" or "blue" to -not- be what I
want. I want the box of crayons that have the 63 million colors.

Same here. I am prefectly comfortable describing my own colors as needed.
But that is the beauty of POV-Ray. People can use it anyway they want
and if some people find using colors.inc easier than designing their own
colors then more power to them.

I might be tempted by a color select box on the tool bar of the editor.
Something that if you clicked on the one out of 16 or somewhere on the
rainbow box it would then type in "rgb <n.nn, n.nn, n.nn >. But anything
else is just too time consuming for the value returned. I dont' even use the
insert menu pigments becuas it takes longer than typing a rgb value.

Sure, and it is good while learning to do other things.

Oh, well... I never said I use the colors in colors.inc as they are!
;) I use them as a palette of known colors to mix. It is easy for me to
think on something like "White*.9+Red*.1" when a I want a light pink. I
don't care if it's longer and I don't mind typing '#include
"colors.inc"': it is worth for me.

For me colors.inc is a gift from god!
As I am colour blind, I feel much more confortable with Turquoise than rgb
stuff.
In any case I have absolutly no opinion on the result!

Always the first line I ever type in a POV scene, whatever it is, is
'#include "colors.inc"'. If I don't like a color, I guess what its rgb value
is and fiddle it a bit.

I haven't ever checked, but isn't there a parse time hit for including
unused files? In a lengthy animation it probably makes a difference.

The problem appears to be the use of "color 1." The keyword "color" is an
artifact of an earlier version of POV-Ray. You might want to consider using
"rgb 1" or "rgb <1,1,1>" (without the quotes, of course) in its place.

On a 386 with 4 megs of memory it was a problem. With modern machines
the impact is not a consideration.

On a PII 400, rendering 256 frames of a sphere with and without
colors.inc.
6m 23s with
6m 15s without
Probably have to be several large includes on very many frames for it to
be a consideration.
