It can't be uglier than the completions of read-color which is pretty bad. It's a cacophony of colors and some of them are hard to read: https://i.imgur.com/NtIDihs.png IMO the list-colors-display UI is much better even if it's longer (and if it's a completion list then it's easy to narrow it down): https://www.valenciatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gnu-emacs-list-colo= rs-display.png
