xco
uses the database of standard X11 named colors to display name-color pairs.
Appearance is based on the X10 xcolors program. To change the foreground
color, click the left mouse button in the color window you want. To change
the background color, click the right mouse button in the color window
you want. Clicking the middle mouse button sets the colors back to the
original foreground and background. You can switch quickly through colors
by holding down the left or right button and sliding the cursor through
the colored windows. More colors can be seen by clicking on the arrows at
the bottom of the screen
Typing a ``q'' will cause the program to exit. Typing
a ``r'' will cause the foreground and background colors to be swapped (aka
reverse video).
