Description Bruce Merry 2013-10-29 09:33:52 UTC 
The documentation for pango_color_parse says "The string can either one of a large set of standard names. (Taken from the X11 rgb.txt file)". However, commit d2c319b changed the palette to use the SVG/CSS palette. In some cases this changes the interpretation of a color (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Color_name_clashes).

I've filed against 1.32.x since I ran into the bug with that version installed, but eyeballing git HEAD (1.36.0-4-g8be9097) it doesn't seem to have changed.
Comment 1 Bruce Merry 2013-10-29 09:43:17 UTC 
The documentation for gdk_color_parse also needs fixing, since it relies on pango_color_parse. Let me know if I should file a separate bug for that.

You're right.
