Hi
you might also want to take a look at the file 'rgb.txt'. On my computer
it is in this directory:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
This contains color names, like 'magentha', and the rgb values that
belong to it, like this:
169 169 169 dark gray
169 169 169 DarkGray
0 0 139 dark blue
0 0 139 DarkBlue
0 139 139 dark cyan
0 139 139 DarkCyan
139 0 139 dark magenta
139 0 139 DarkMagenta
...etc
regards,
jos
