NAME
     xcolors - X window system color database display

SYNOPSIS
     xcolors [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     _x_c_o_l_o_r_s displays the colors defined in _X window system color
     database.  _x_c_o_l_o_r_s creates a window in which each color in
     the database is displayed along with its name and hexade-
     cimal rgb representation. The colors are roughly sorted by
     color type. The mouse is used to change the colors of the
     text, border and background by placing the cursor on the
     color desired and clicking the left, middle or right button.

     _x_c_o_l_o_r_s understands the following options:

     -bd _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the border color; black is the default.

     -bg _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the background color; black is the default.

     -bw _p_i_x_e_l_s
             Specify the width in pixels of the border around the
             _x_c_o_l_o_r_s window. The default value is 3 pixels.

     -fg _c_o_l_o_r
             Specify the text color; white is the default.

     -fn _f_o_n_t_n_a_m_e
             The text will be displayed in the specified font (if
             none is specified, this defaults to 6x10).

     =_g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y
             The xcolors window is created with the specified
             size and location determined by the supplied
             geometry specification.  See _X(_1) for a full expla-
             nation.

     [_h_o_s_t]:[_d_i_s_p_l_a_y]
             Normally, _x_c_o_l_o_r_s gets the host and display number
             to use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''.
             Either or both can be specified with this option.
             _h_o_s_t specifies which machine to create the _x_c_o_l_o_r_s
             window on, and _d_i_s_p_l_a_y specifies the display number.
             For example, ``hoser:0'' creates an _x_c_o_l_o_r_s on
             display 0 on machine hoser. Either value can be
             defaulted by omission but ``:'' is necessary to
             specify one or both.
