Description _ tboudreau 2003-06-26 01:38:45 UTC 
X11 and SVG both support a wider range of colors than
those supported by the current color editor - in
fact it's
very rare that someone actually wants pure red,
blue, orange,
etc.  It would be preferable to support some standard
color names.  One potential option:

See http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords

(I think this is actually the same list of color
defs that X 
supports)

Passing property editor issues to new owner, Jirka
Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-10-16 15:49:08 UTC 
It's not planned for long time. It's fair to close as WONTFIX
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2008-10-20 23:31:42 UTC 
What I'd suggest is using http://colorchooser.dev.java.net - we already bundle it in the PaintApp platform sample.  It
is a far easier to use color chooser, requires a single mouse gesture to pick a color, and much better for choosing
non-primary colors than what we have.

If someone wants other color than pure red then they would probably pick color from HSB tab or Swatches tab...
