------------------------------------
Summary: Support CSS3/X11 color names
Key: PIVOT-984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-984
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.1
Environment: All
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.1
The current set of color names is determined by the Java AWT color names, which
are basically the base 16 colors, plus a few. The latest web standards build
in the X11 colors names, which are a much larger list (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names, and note the differences between
CSS3 and X11).
I would propose implementing the W3C standards since these are what current web
applications will be using.
The changes are easy enough (except for the "gray" vs. "grey" spellings and
possibly the X11/CSS3 differences) that I would consider changing it for 2.0.5
except that this is a spec change that doesn't belong in a bug fix release
(unless someone could make a good case for it).
