I've had a color DS2100 for a couple of weeks now and am still shocked
and horrified by the default colors in the rgb database.  The "pink"
color in particular looks like the flesh-tone of someone who has been
puking for several hours and would really rather get a bullet in the
head than go on living.

It seems to me that the vendors (e.g., Digital) who ship canned X systems
should be tuning the default, named colors to look as good as possible on
their machines.  Or is it just the case that these colors look awful on
everyone's system and (in this case) Digital decided to go for compatibility?

What do you say?  Does your "pink" look as bad as mine?  Do you normally
whip up your own color table entries and ignore these default colors?
