The original color letters did come from matlab, and some of the color RGB choices, like the background for the subplot gray, I got using a color picker on my screen for maximum compatibility, but I do not recall if that was the case for 'm', 'c' and 'y'. Most likely these were the rgb values of the matlab colors. The html colors were submitted later by another user, and apparently we never checked for consistency. I think this is a wart, and I don't feel strongly about keeping it or changing it for consistency in the trunk ahead of 1.0 (it should remain as is on the branch). If we change it on the trunk, we should change the single letter codes to correspond to the html full color name standards, rather than the other way around.
