>             Project: Pivot
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: wtk
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.1
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb

> 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).
