	~~{{stub}}~~		A '''Physical Color Part''' is a special [[part]] file within [[LDraw]].

			Normal parts always use [[Color 16]] to make the library as versatile as possible:
			using that color allows an end user to choose any color for a part he likes.

			Opposed to that, physical color parts hardcode the color.
			A user cannot change the color of them.
			Therefore, such part files are less versatile than normal parts.
			However, they still have a certain right to exist:
			sometimes, a dedicated LEGO part number refers to a dedicated [[Design ID\|design]] ''and'' color.
			People might want to find that number in our library and get the proper part, for example for creating [[set]] [[inventories]].
			Therefore, [[LDraw.org]] has decided to allow hardcoded parts into the official library.
			These are the Physical Color Parts and [[Physical Color Shortcut]]s.

			== Special Properties ==

			Physical color parts must fulfill special properties in their implementation:
			* Their title must start with an underscore ("<code>_</code") to easily recognize them
			* Usually they carry their hardcoded color by name or by number in their title as a suffix, for example "[Green]"
			* In their header, they must state the following part type:
			0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part Physical_Colour
			* They must consist of a single part only. If they consist of multiple parts instead, then they are a [[Physical Color Shortcut]] instead.
