Tkinter color names/codes

[Jeff Seale]

I just happend to notice that there are very FEW colors that you have to
generate using #hex codes. But I was wondering, how many colors have names
assigned to them in Tkinter and what are their #hex translations? It'd be
nice to know these so I don't accidentally create a color that already has
a name.

Is it possible to translate all those colors into their #hex combinations?
The ones I know about already are Red #FF0000, Yellow #FFFF00, Green #
00FF00, Cyan #00FFFF, Blue #0000FF, Magenta #FF00FF, White #FFFFFF and
Black #000000.

I'm not sure what you're asking. The references do just
that, in several variations, although they're coded in
Tcl/Tk, rather than Tkinter. Do you realize you can type
$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.yourself?

Ugh. I'm revealing a bad habit I acquired in my Python childhood.
What I *should* have suggested was
import Tkinter
Tkinter.Tk().winfo_rgb("cyan")
The Label() and l chatter was just a distraction, for which I
apologize.
