Dear Richard,
You're right, each facet has an RGB-code. We have 2 bytes, so 5 bits a color
+ 1 bit indicating if the traingle color is applied or not.
Please find the complete description of the STL-color format used by
Materialise at following link:

Subject: Colour STL file format
Dear List,
Could anyone please inform me of the correct format for colour STL files. I
understand the traditional STL format and understand that the colour is
assigned to each facet as an RGB value but I would like to ensure that I
have it correct so that any files I produce will work with existing
software.
many thanks in advance.
Richard
