Colors in xterm

Alex Lavrov — Wed, 04 Feb 2004 09:32:22 GMT

Hello,
I'm using CDE and using different colors in xterm on different servers.
Where I can find a list of available colors?
I know there are some strange names like "peachpuff" and "skyblue".

Thanx for the future help.

Look in /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt

Look in file /etc/X11/rgb.txt for the list of color names.

Hi,

As stated, it's under /etc/X11/rgb.txt. If I want to see how it looks exactly, I do the following

xterm -bg ColorName

You can add your own colors to it. For ex.,

0 82 121 Sridhar

#rgb < rgb.txt

xterm -bg Sridhar

-Sri

Hi Alex,

Have a look to this command :

/usr/contrib/bin/X11/showrgb

It list all the RGB colors with their names...

Best regards
