Equivalence of Color names to RGB

[MisterX]

Dar, 

That's interesting! Here's what i wrote up some time ago

-- LUT = lookupTable
local rclut,rgblut
on generateLUTs
put the colornames into colorslist
repeat for each line c in colorslist
  set the backcolor of btn 1 to c
  get the backcolor of btn 1
  put it into clut[c]
  put c&tab&it & cr after rgblut
end repeat

-- to retrieve the colors:
-- color to rgb
put clut["silver"] into anrbg
-- or rgb to color
set itemdelimiter to tab 
put item 2 of line lineoffset(anrgb,rgblut) into nametorgb
