Looking at the Frame 12 MIF Reference, I guess what I want to delete are old 
System generated colors which are defined as "FrameMaker will automatically 
generate new colors when multiple tags are applied on text. The ColorTag tag 
that is generated is named with the "fm_gen_" prefix and appended with a 
system-generated integer."



As I have edited some conditions and deleted others, many of the System 
generated colors will no longer be in use.

No .. I'm pretty sure that the only way to know if it's "in use" is to scan the 
entire file for the ColorTag value.



The ColorIsReserved, means that it's "reserved" by FM (a core color, perhaps, 
which can't be deleted).



I'm just guessing though. The FDK reference may have more info. I can look 
later if someone else doesn't have more useful info.
