Color Use

When you design your application's user interface, do not specify color settings that override the default color scheme that the Common Desktop Environment provides for Motif and desktop widgets. For application-defined colors, use the following colors to promote sharing with other desktop applications:

• Black

• White

• Red

• Green

• Blue

• Yellow

• Cyan

• Magenta

• Gray (eight shades: #de, #bd, #ab, #94, #73, #63, #42, and #21)

In most cases, you should not specify colors, so that your application uses the colors chosen by the end user in the desktop Style Manager.
