I have a color monitor, but have always used the cmdtool, etc. in
monochrome.  Now I would like to use them with some color in the
foreground and background.  I started playing around with different color
combinations by typing, e.g.

cmdtool -Ws 200 200 -Wf 0 100 0 &

but realized that even testing single colors would take a long while using
that method.

Is there a utility which would systematically display the number
combinations along with the colors produced?  And, is it too silly to ask
some of you to email me your favorite color combos?  I am looking for
colors that are pleasing and not distracting.

Many thanks,
