Is there a way to re-define the RGB values of built-in color names in GTK? Perhaps using .gtkrc? Ideally I don't want to compile a custom binary... Background, for those interested: I use Vim, both the commandline version (vim) and GUI vesrion (gvim). The gui version is built on GTK. In my color schemes for Vim, I use names like "green" and "purple" in various places. In Vim, these use the X11 color values, taken from rgb.txt. That is what I am used to, and what I want to also use in GVim. However — and here I am speculating — GVim seems to use GTK to interpret color names, and GTK has a different notion of what "green" and "purple" mean than X11. For instance, "green" in vim is #00FF00, and "green" in gvim is #008000. I suspect that GTK uses the W3C color values, whereas X11 obviously uses the X11 color values (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Clashes_between_web_and_X11_colors). That certainly matches what I see visually. So back to the point: is there any way to change GTK's mapping for color names? Or perhaps have GTK use X11 color names?
