runemacs -q
In the *scratch* buffer, evaluate any of the following:
(set-background-color "gray10")
(set-background-color "gray20")
(set-background-color "gray30")
this should set the background to a dark gray color. Instead, all
three forms set the background color to a light grey (using an external
color picker shows it to be #BEBEBE). Even (set-background-color "gray90")
sets it to BEBEBE. Other colors work better
(set-background-color "black")
(set-background-color "white")
(set-background-color "blue")
all work. But the failure to honor gray30 or anything close to it
seriously breaks (color-theme-gray30) or similar packages.

I cannot reproduce it. I see distinctly different colors for each one
of gray10, gray20, gray30, and they all are indeed dark gray, as I'd
expect.
But I'm on XP SP2, whereas you seem to be on WIndows 7, is that right?
Maybe it's something specific to Windows 7?

Yes, I think it may be Windows 7 specific. It occurs on two separate
Windows 7 PC that I have access to.
I'll try on a Vista system and report back
thanks

Please also tell what you see in the "grayNN" area in the buffer
displayed by "M-x list-colors-display". How many distinct gray colors
do you see there?

If so, it's not universal, because I'm on Windows 7 and I also see
three different, dark gray colors.

(set-background-color) works as expected with emacs 23.1 and 23.3 on
Vista 64, so perhaps it is a Windows 7 specific problem.
Let me know if there is something I can do to help diagnose/fix the problem.

There are 167 colors listed, only 9 "gray" colors:
28:dark slate gray dark slate grey, DarkSlateGray, DarkSlateGrey #2f4f4f
29:dim gray dim grey, DimGray, DimGrey #696969
30:slate gray slate grey, SlateGray, SlateGrey #708090
31:light slate gray light slate grey, LightSlateGray, LightSlateGrey #778899
32:gray grey #bebebe
33:light gray light grey, LightGray, LightGrey #d3d3d3
130:gray0 grey0 #000000
131:dark gray dark grey, DarkGray, DarkGrey #a9a9a9
154:SystemGrayText SystemGrayText #c0c0c0
and 8 "grey"
8 matches for "grey" in buffer: *Colors*
28:dark slate gray dark slate grey, DarkSlateGray, DarkSlateGrey #2f4f4f
29:dim gray dim grey, DimGray, DimGrey #696969
30:slate gray slate grey, SlateGray, SlateGrey #708090
31:light slate gray light slate grey, LightSlateGray, LightSlateGrey #778899
32:gray grey #bebebe
33:light gray light grey, LightGray, LightGrey #d3d3d3
130:gray0 grey0 #000000
131:dark gray dark grey, DarkGray, DarkGrey #a9a9a9
When I try to set
(set-background-color "DarkGray") or
(set-background-color "SystemGrayText")
I end up with the lighter bebebe grey instead.
Note that I have also turned off Windows 7 Aero color themes on my
desktop because it is impossible to configure windows colors with
a dark grey window background and white text unless you disable
Aero themes and then start from the High Contrast #1 theme to set
Windows system colors.

What's going on that system from the color point of view? How many
colors do you have in your settings?
Can you step through list-colors-display with Edebug, and see why you
get so few colors listed?

My system is running dual monitors at 1600x1200x32bit
primary display is a VGA connection; second is DVI-D
After starting
runemace -q
then stepping into list-colors-display and defined-colors in faces.el
abd xw-defined-colors in term/w3-win.el I've isolated the problem
to w32-color-map
(display-visual-class)
true-color
(length w32-color-map)
271
w32-color-map
(("SystemMenuBar" . 11055248) ("SystemMenuHilight" . 0) ("SystemGradientInactiveTitle" . 10789024) ("SystemGradientActiveTitle" . 6831878) ("SystemHotTrackingColor" . 14399637) ("SystemButtonAlternateFace" . 12632256) ("SystemInfoWindow" . 12632256) ("SystemInfoText" . 6831878) ("SystemButtonLight" . 3947580) ("SystemButtonDkShadow" . 0) ("SystemButtonHilight" . 10329501) ("SystemInactiveTitleText" . 15066597) ...)
(assoc "grey30" w32-color-map)
nil
(assoc "black" w32-color-map)
("black" . 33554432)
However:
(color-supported-p "grey30" (selected-frame) t)
t
(defvar w32-color-map) is defined in w32fns.c
so I can't step into that to find out where the colors are coming from.
I did find another Windows 7 system where the gray colors *are* working
and w32-color-map has 783 elements:
(assoc "grey30" w32-color-map)
("grey30" . 5066061)
That is a laptop with 32 bit color 1440x900 (single monitor)
running Windows 7 x64
As a workaround, I can copy the full 32-color-map from the
other system and eval it on this system, then
(set-background-color "grey10")
(set-background-color "grey20")
(set-background-color "grey30")
all work as expected (I use the same Windows color theme
on both, so the System* colors in w32-color-map are OK for me)
I don't know why w32-color-map (w32fns.c) is so short on my system.
(I've have rebooted - no change.)

In x-open-connection, w32-color-map is set from the etc/rgb.txt file
(the trunk version of it has 788 entries). If that fails,
w32-color-map is set from the w32_color_map variable in w32fns.c,
which has 241.
Add to that a few system colors that are added afterwards, and 271
seems about right.
So please check that your etc/ directory has an rgb.txt file and that it is OK.

To be precise, it is loaded from the rgb.txt file in the
`data-directory' dir, so check also `data-directory' to see where does
it point to.

788 c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt
Note: On my Windows 7, c:/gnu/emacs is a Windows 7 link to c:/gnu/emacs-23.3
(so that I can easily install new versions of Emacs without
editing my shortcuts, environment, etc. - just switch the link.)
I don't think this affects anything because if I run
c:\gnu\emacs-23.3\bin\runemacs.exe -q
M-x list-colors-display is still only 167 colors when data-directory
is "c:/gnu/emacs-23.3/etc/"
fyi, I installed from
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnu/ftp/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.3-bin-i386.zip

Actually, it first looks in the home directory, and only then in
data-directory. David, do you happen to have an rgb.txt in your home
directory? (Try "C-x C-f ~/rgb.txt RET".) If you do, could it be the
culprit?
Also, can you try, in "emacs -Q", to type this:
M-: (length (x-load-color-file "c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt")) RET
and tell the result?

yes, I did have a $HOME/rbg.txt
My HOME is C:/djb so the file is c:/djb/rgb.txt
(length (x-load-color-file "c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt"))
752
(length (x-load-color-file "c:/djb/rgb.txt"))
752
My HOME is not my Windows $USERPROFILE directory, c:/users/... )
However, even if $HOME/rbg.txt is the same as my emacs/etc/rbg.txt file:
$ cp c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt ~/rgb.txt
I still get the same abbreviated color list !
If I remove $HOME/rgb.txt and restart emacs, then M-x list-colors-display
lists all the expected colors. I'm not sure why it fails with that file there,
since it is the same as the Emacs version; it is readable, etc.
I also tried with HOME pointing to me Windows USERPROFILE :
# export HOME=c:/users/sasdjb
$ cp c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt $HOME
$ c:/gnu/emacs/bin/runemacs -q
and Emacs still does not read the full color list.
**************************
Thanks for your assistance. I consider this issue resolved,
but you may want to pursue why it would fail to properly
load from ~/rgb.txt under Windows 7, and perhaps add documentation on how the
color list is populated:
w32-default-color-map:
Return the default color map.
list-colors-display:
Display names of defined colors, and show what they look like.
If the optional argument LIST is non-nil, it should be a list of
colors to display. Otherwise, this command computes a list of
colors that the current display can handle. If the optional
argument BUFFER-NAME is nil, it defaults to *Colors*.
I can contiue to try things on my end if you need additional
diagnosis (i.e. if there are other environmental factors
that you cannot reproduce).

It is unrelated to Windows 7, but it is indeed a bug.
x-load-color-file was converting its argument to an absolute pathname,
and then forgetting to use it, so it was unable to find "~/rgb.txt"
and defaulted to a built-in table of colors.
Should be fixed now on emacs-23 and will be merged into the trunk
soon, I suppose.

I'm closing this bug. Please re-open if the fix does not work for you.
