Should XEmacs use closest color match on tty

Try putting this in the beginning of your .emacs (defun my-canonize-color (color) (setq available-colors (mapcar 'car (read-color-completion-table))) (setq result color) (mapcar (lambda (x) (if (string-match (downcase x) (downcase color)) (setq result x))) available-colors) result) (defadvice set-face-foreground (before my-canonize-color-advice (face color &optional locale tag-set how-to-add)) (setq color (my-canonize-color color))) (ad-activate 'set-face-foreground) Now run XEmacs on tty. XEmacs will likely become much more colorful (for better or worse). So, question is, should XEmacs try to use a close to requested color (say "blue" for "blue4"), or should it default to no-color as it does now. Obviously, color matching heuristic could be more sophisticated. Gleb
