[reportlab-users] Suggested patch for "missing" SVG colours

[Paul Barrass]

Hi,

The discussion of SVG output reminded me to mention the (somewhat 
unrelated) "missing" SVG colour constants in the libs/colors.py file 
(I'll not mention the missing 'u' in the filename ;) ).  The named 
colours match the SVG keywords with the exception of the duplicated 
UK/American spellings of the various greys - grey/gray are both present, 
but the other varieties such as lightgrey only exist in a single form, 
and unfortunately it's not entirely consistent which form is used.

I've attached a patch against the latest SVN trunk which adds the 
"missing" greys - it's simply the following lines in the appropriate 
(maintaining alphabetical order) places:

darkgrey =  HexColor(0xA9A9A9)
darkslategrey =     HexColor(0x2F4F4F)
dimgrey =   HexColor(0x696969)
lightgray =     HexColor(0xD3D3D3)
lightslategrey =    HexColor(0x778899)
slategrey =     HexColor(0x708090)

It's not massively critical, but would help confusion when I tell people 
they can use the "standard SVG" colours, then some of them not be 
recognised.
