Do (color-values "blue") and (color-values "firebrick") return the same values on pre- and post- merge builds for you? - they do for me, and I don't seem to see color differences (checked with the gimp too). While the NS port _did_ introduce a load of its own color handling stuff (including some pretty gratuitous-looking color database duplication - emacs/etc/Emacs.clr vs. emacs/etc/rgb.txt ), it seems to be confined to NS-specific code paths. > I also updated the X server at that time (from its Git master), but > other apps seem to have the same colours. N.B. There have been relatively recent changes to the x.org named color handling - rgb.txt got deprecated, now the server ignores RGBPath and uses a compiled-in list (effectively the same values as the historic default rgb.txt though), and libX11 defaults to trying Xcms before the server list. That said, I'd naively expect any weirdness in named-color resolution on the X side to affect all apps using it equally, so it probably doesn't explain it. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034408.html
