Please try very hard to avoid using device or intensity specifications
for colors.  This is because many vendors of X servers perform color
calibration for graphics devices by editing the list of pre-defined X
colors.

In addition, using non-predefined colors means that you will be more
likely to allocate a color cell in the default colormap which no other
program can use.  While not as important as it used to be, excessive
color use is still something to keep in mind when writing programs.
