Which color tags are available?

[Alexandre Bodi]

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:

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.
