http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names
excerpt: « In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It is shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/rgb.txt. It is not known who originally compiled the list. The list shows neither a continuity in selected color values nor in color names (for example, darkgray but lightgrey), and many color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them making it practically impossible to introduce a more stringent and logical alias list. » Fuck the unix mother fuckers. ----- See also: Responsible Software Licensing http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/responsible_license.html Xah [EMAIL PROTECTED] ∑ http://xahlee.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
