Yes, I just tried that and it worked! 

Thanks,

The parser inside MEDM implies that the second format using dl_color is an old format as it passes the parsing off to a routine called
parseOldDlColor() while the colors list is parsed by parseDlColor(). It looks like both of them get read into the same data structure, so you might be able to convert the latter into the former by just loading and saving the file - have you tried that?
