The only danger I see is someone porting to a windowing system that

By now "red3" and friends can be considered an XEmacs feature. Take a
look at mswindows_X_color_map in `objects-msw.c'.
One problem are the displays with completely different ideas about
colors, such as color TTYs. There you not only cannot depend on the
color names, but you cannot even define them in a meaningful way.
