Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: having 2525 defined colors to choose from within LO

Some colors may have different names, depending on language and 
geographic regions.  Some colors have different spellings, depending on 
the language used.

Also, the real problem is that some color names are defined differently 
by regions or who you get the color list from.  I have seen Aqua a 
little darker than Cyan, cyan being one of the primary printer ink 
colors and the name of aqua is not.  So they are not interchangeable in 
some applications and my need different "acceptable" names for different 
applications.

I have seen Gray spelled both ways, but gray is what I use since my 
American English spell checking in Thunderbird tells me "grey" is 
misspelled.  Other languages may use "grey" instead of the other spelling.
