Tk recognises a lot of colour names, as documented at, say, https:// www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl9.0/TkCmd/colors.html Is it possible to get a list of them?

I guess I could hack it out of one of the source files, but I'd hope to be able to get it in a cleaner fashion.

 Alan,
this is a long awaited low hanging fruit in Tk.
An "tkinfo colornames" should be implemented.
 I would love to use it in colour chooser dropdown boxes etc.
 Thanks,
Harald

Thanks Harald,
That indeed is what I hope to use it for. I'm going to parse rgb.txt as recommended elsewhere. At times like this, I wish I understood the Tcl/Tk internals better; I might have a go at implimenting [tkinfo colournames] myself - I'm a Brit, I look forward to the colournames/colornames argument :-)
