Patrick,

not too sure what your definition of a color browser is,
but I've got a program called xpalette:

     o	Main window displays color palette, foreground and
	background colors selected with mouse buttons.
	Name of $fore,background color displayed and label
	widget with colors set appropriately.

     o	Popup with scolled list of named colors, you can
	select colors and asked that they be loaded into
	the default colormap.

     o	Popup which has a bitmap-tiled background,
	with $fore,background colors set from palette.

It's a counter-productivity tool - we spend more time than we
used to selecting color pairs for root patterns, menus etc :-)

Let me know if you're interested, and I'll mail it to you.

Neil
