Does that mean it will be fixed in the next AppImage? Goody.

At this point, there's not even a ticket for the issue. I just
saw it when copying the message.

Well, being a moderated user, who gets to do that, as I sure can't.

ciao,
Torsten.

Not really any difference between color() and color(undef).

color(c) can have c==undef, but cannot have c be missing.

Finding that lookup page in the docs is a many minute search thru the
otherwise excellent docs to find that page every time I want to use a
different color.

Is it the list of color names that you're looking for?

From the cheat sheet, clicking on the link for color() takes you to
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Transformations#color
and there's a color table about 16 lines down.

Thank you, that is the table I was looking for.

I'd agree on the color(undef) for removing a color. No other way to do
it if a library module colors something, or requires passing in a color.
Even if rare, it seems cheap.

Along the lines of "Help -> Font List", it would be nice to have "Help
-> Color List" too.
