Subject:	Re: List of legal color names for "rxvt -bg"?
Mime-Version:	1.0

David,

When in all else fails:

% strings /bin/rxvt.exe |less
...
Cyan
Magenta
Blue
Yellow
Green
Grey25
AntiqueWhite
Cyan3
Magenta3
Blue3
Yellow3
Green3
Red3
White
Black
...


Not the most definitive way, I suppose--there could be an external color 
database ("find / -iname '*color*'" didn't turn up anything obvious) and 
the color names might not be contiguous in the output of "strings" and you 
might just miss them amidst all the others, but I did say "when all else 
fails..."

Don't forget the use of hex-encoded triples: -bg '#RRGGBB'
