I know that is what X does, but it's horribly broken.
Better: #abc means #aabbcc.

Linear float (0 to 1, with decimal point) could be nice.

There is some support for having more than one row
of colors. The user should be able to specify this. If the
user does not specify it, perhaps Tux Paint should set
the number of rows to make the color patches most square.
