Hi Hans, Indeed as Wolfgang points out, in the file colo-ini.mkii it is said that: %D But let's not forget that we also have the more traditional %D non||related colors. These show up after: %D %D \starttyping %D \showcolor [name] %D \stoptyping %D %D Where \type{name} for instance can be \type{rgb}. Actually « name » can be also xwi or pra. There another command is also given, \showcolorgroup, for showing colors such as in: \showcolorgroup [red] [vertical,name,number] or \showcolorgroup [red] And the following can be used to see the setups: \showsetups{showcolor} (Actually in the source there is a mistyping « \showsetup » instead of « \showsetups »).
