[jira] [Created] (PIVOT-984) Support CSS3/X11 color names

Roger Whitcomb created PIVOT-984:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Support CSS3/X11 color names
                 Key: PIVOT-984
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-984
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wtk
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1


The current set of color names is determined by the Java AWT color names, which are basically the base 16 colors, plus a few.  The latest web standards build in the X11 colors names, which are a much larger list (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names, and note the differences between CSS3 and X11).
I would propose implementing the W3C standards since these are what current web applications will be using.
The changes are easy enough (except for the "gray" vs. "grey" spellings and possibly the X11/CSS3 differences) that I would consider changing it for 2.0.5 except that this is a spec change that doesn't belong in a bug fix release (unless someone could make a good case for it).
