public class XColor
extends Color
A Color subclass that provides all the RGB color names from The X Window System rgb.txt color database.

The X11 file rgb.txt contains 752 color names and their RGB values. Many of these, however, are shades of gray (also spelt grey), and most of the longer names appear as both one word and multi-word ("deep sky blue" and "deepskyblue"). There are perhaps 200-300 distinct colors. If you have an 8-bit (or less:-( ) display, you will not be able to see them all as distinct. Either form, as well as upper, lower or mixed case can be used when constructing XColors.
