[comp.graphics] List of RGB Colors

hollasch@ENUXHA.EAS.ASU.EDU (Steve Hollasch) (06/04/91)

    In response to my query to the net for RGB color tables, I've received
several text files.  Juhana Krister sent me the rgb.txt file used for the
X-windows software, and Scott Snibbe sent me the color file used at the
Brown University Computer Graphics Group.  Scott's file includes painter's
pigment colors from the 1989 SIGGRAPH course on color representation for
computers.

    I've condensed these down to a single file.  I've omitted a number of
the rgb.txt colors, since every unique color was given as the color
itself, plus four different shades of that color (from light to dark).  I
figure that these shades are easily replicated so I cut them out.  If there
were different definitions of a certain color in the three files, I selected
the one that looked best to me.

    My condensed color file follows (213 lines).  Comments are preceeded
with '#'.  Color definitions consist of a contiguous name, red, green and
blue components in the range [0,255] and red, green, and blue components in
the range [0,1].
