X11 color names



         


In computing on the Unix-based X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It is shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/rgb.txt.

It is not known who originally compiled the list. The list shows neither a continuity in selected color values nor in color names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them making it practically impossible to introduce a more stringent and logical alias list.

The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 colors as the basis for the Web colors list, as both were originally X11 applications.
