Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-984:
--------------------------------------
The actual W3C spec is here: https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#svg-color
> 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).
