Description
Xmcolor is a color mixer utility for the X Window System using the OSF/Motif interface. It is useful when setting up the color resources of various X applications, where you can browse the color database of pre-defined color names, or mix a custom color using the red, green and blue sliders. The desired color name is shown and can be cut-and-paste'ed into an editor.

This utility is not architecture or OS platform dependent, and should be portable to any UNIX-compatible system supporting OSF Motif and the X window system.

Comments, suggestions, and bug reports about xmcolor are very welcome! Write to "ti@amb.org".

The colour names in rgb.txt don't always mean alot, and it is normally very hard to get the exact colour you want for an app. This utility makes it easy.
