OK, I've attached a zip file containing all of the default .cdf files from UG V16.0 thru NX 6.0, plus a few more that you may find interesting, as well as some other material which may help you figure out what's going on with the changes we made in NX 6.0.
Also, if you are really into color, particularly how they are used on the Internet, may I suggest that you look at the website...
...as this was the reference site which we used back in UG V17.0 when we first implemented the 216 color scheme (note that I was the product manager for that project). This where we got both the RGB values of the colors as well as the names. Basically this was our standard until NX 6.0 when we hired a color consultant to make some recommendations as to how we could improve the pre-NX 5.0 color standards.
Just as a side note, you will find 3 extra .cdf files named:
wireframe.cdf
deutanopia.cdf
protanopia.cdf
The 'wireframe.cdf' was something which prior to NX 3.0 we recommended people who worked primarily in wireframe (non-shaded) displays to use as it provided a better set of colors when shading was never going to be an issue.
As for the other two, these can be used so that you can see what your models will look like to someone who is color blind. Now it's NOT to be used to make the model easier to be seen by color-blind people (about 8% of men are color blind whereas only 0.4% of women are) but rather to show non-color-blind people what something will look like to a color-blind person, so that if it's critical that ANYONE be able to distinguish one part from another you can verify whether that will still be the case by temporarily replacing the default .cdf with one or both the the other two listed above (note that these .cdf's are only relevant when comparing them to pre-NX 6.0 default .cdf files as we have not updated, nor am I aware of any plans to make them compatible with the current NX 6.0 color scheme). And if you wish to learn more about the issues of color-blindness and how this applies to computer displays and designing websites and users interfaces, at the bottom of the web-page at the address I provided above, there are links to other reference sites dealing with subjects including color-blindness.
Anyway, have fun and let me know if any of this stuff was helpful or not.
