    I want to configure coloring preferences for my Tkdiff tool, but I'd like to get introduced to all available colors we can use. Does anyone know? Thanks!

    (Just search for tkdiff colors and this came up as a top result so I'm hoping this is helpful)

    My early experiments suggest it uses these:

    Here's my updated .tkdiffrc file, which in my humble opinion is much nicer on the eye:

    # This file was generated by TkDiff 4.1.4
    # Wed Apr 18 03:44:22 PM PDT 2012
    set prefsFileVersion {4.1.4}
    # Automatically center current diff region
    define autocenter {1}
    # Automatically select the nearest diff region while  scrolling
    define autoselect {0}
    # Tag options for characters in line view
    define bytetag {-underline 1 -foreground white -background black}
    # Tag options for changed diff region
    define chgtag {-background AntiqueWhite -foreground black}
    # Color change bars to match the diff map
    define colorcbs {0}
    # Tag options for the current diff region
    define currtag {-background PeachPuff  -foreground black}
    # Tag options for deleted diff region
    define deltag {-background White -foreground black}
    # diff command
    define diffcmd {diff}
    # Tag options for diff regions
    define difftag {-background AntiqueWhite -foreground black  -font 6x13}
    # Program for editing files
    define editor {}
    # Windows-style toolbar buttons
    define fancyButtons {1}
    # Text window size
    define geometry {180x130}
    # Ignore blanks when diffing
    define ignoreblanks {0}
    # Ignore blanks option
    define ignoreblanksopt {-b}
    # Tag options for diff region inline differences
    define inlinetag {-background LightBlue -foreground DarkOrchid -font {Courier -12 bold}}
    # Tag options for inserted diff region
    define instag {-background LightGreen -foreground DarkOrchid  -font {Courier -12 bold}}
    # Tag options for overlap diff region
    define overlaptag {-background BurlyWood -foreground black}
    # Show change bars
    define showcbs {1}
    # Show inline diffs (byte comparisons)
    define showinline1 {0}
    # Show inline diffs (recursive matching algorithm)
    define showinline2 {1}

    # Show graphical map of diffs
    define showmap {1}

    # Text widget options
    define textopt {-background AntiqueWhite -foreground black  -font 6x13 }
    # Directory for scratch files
    define tmpdir {/tmp}
    # Use icons instead of labels in the toolbar
    define toolbarIcons {1}
    # custom code
    # put any custom code you want to be executed in the
    # following block. This code will be automatically executed
    # after the GUI has been set up but before the diff is 
    # performed. Use this code to customize the interface if
    # you so desire.
    #  
    # Even though you can't (as of version 3.09) edit this 
    # code via the preferences dialog, it will be automatically
    # saved and restored if you do a SAVE from that dialog.
    # Unless you really know what you are doing, it is probably
    # wise to leave this unmodified.
    define customCode {
    }

    The colors are from the X11/rgb.txt file on all *nix machines.  The "choosexcolor" Tk script downloadable from http://www.twobarleycorns.net/ demonstrates them in a "paint chips" kind of way.
