[comp.graphics] Where can I find a list of RGB colors?

hollasch@ENUXHA.EAS.ASU.EDU (Steve Hollasch) (05/27/91)

    I'm looking for a list of colors given as RGB triples ([0-255] or
[0-1] or whatever).  I'd appreciate any pointers to ftp sites or e-mailed
copies of such files.

    Many thanks.

X11 has a pretty good list.  Its usually in rgb.txt which is usually
in the standard X library, which is usually:
	/usr/lib/X11
so usually, the file will be
	/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
I usually so much here 'cause everything I read from MIT reads that
this is the 'standard' directory.  I heve met many machines who
choose differently.  Anyway, as if you don't know:
	find / -name rgb.txt -print
should usually find it (could be many moons if you use nfs'ed drives.
