Convert ColorNames to RGB

Not so hard to build a map between ColorNames and RGB: create a field  
and name it "fColors", then put the following script in the card  
script and type build in the message box: now the field display for  
each color a line with: its colorname, a color rectangle, the color  
value for html, the RGB value.

For lazy one, download a ready made stack "ColorNames Displayed" is  
available under Revolution online, user "imed". Enjoy!
