Hello,

I noticed that colors "DimGray" and "DarkGray" are reversed i.e. "DimGray
should be DarkGray" and vice-versa. The manual is coherent with the code,
but the meaning is not. Correcting this poses a backward compatibility,
however do not make much sense a darker color to be lighter than a dimmed
one.

Cheers

The colors are following the definition from the CSS spec, so I guess
it's more a matter of different interpretations of Dim vs. Dark.

ciao,

Hi
Yes you are right, I went to investigate the subject and deleted my post 10
minutes later.
Anyway is strange to me that the "DarkGray" is lighter than the "Gray"
itself.
Maybe it is a linguistic semantic divergence between English and Portuguese
.

you will find it is two or more lists of colours crammed together to make a
'standard'.

Wikipedia explains why DarkGray is lighter than Gray.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey#Web_colors

So, it's just an outcome of different designers clashing over what the
value of "Gray" should be. The original designer (of the X11 colour system)
made Gray lighter than DarkGray, then when this system was copied into
HTML/CSS, another designer changed the value of Gray to something that made
more sense to them, without changing the value of DarkGray.
