ColorMap ColorNames in Database

[Kevin S. Lim]

Hi folks,

I've searched through the old mailing list archives and the FAQ and didn't
find an answer to my question/problem regarding a colormap.

Q. How do I go about finding what color names (i.e. red, blue, etc.) are
defined in the color database?

The reason I ask is because I'm getting that problem that has been described
in past archives where the [setColor: c ToRed: r ToGreen: g ToBlue: b] is
just giving me the white color.  I know I'm not having problems allocating
the colors (i.e. display is set to greater than 8 bit color) and based on
suggestions from the archive, Netscape and other color intensive apps are
not running during a execution of a Swarm app.  Using the [setColor: c
ToName: colorName] seems to work fine, so I'm trying to find 18 unique color
names -- I'm short 5 besides the traditional common colors! =)  Call it a
quick fix!

I'm running Swarm 2.0.1 on a Windows 95 and a Windows NT box.  I've haven't
tried to see if the problem exists on a Linux box yet (maybe over the
weekend).  I hope I haven't missed my answer in the archives, but if I have,
many apologies for the wasted bandwidth!

Cheers,
- Kevin
