I'm starting to develop a user interface in X and Motif for an inhouse project. I'd like to make the color-scheme as pleasing to the eye as possible. My question is, is there a utility somewhere to let you *mix* the red, blue and green on the screen and then obtain the values for defining that color in my code? There has to be a better way than trial and error. -- Jim Kay Allen-Bradley Co. Highland Hts., Ohio kay@iccgcc.decnet.ab.com

Both allow you to modify the colormap in realtime by adjust RGB, HSV, or CMY values. Cpicker lets you select the colormap cell to modify, while pixedit lets you select the screen pixel to modify. I believe I've made things work with the R4 Xlib and Xaw widget set (they were initially developed for R3).
