I found the colors references using the following links and tools:
- "RGB to Color Name Mapping - Triplet and Hex" (http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html)
- "WhatColor - A PC Tool For ColorBlinds People" (http://www.hikarun.com/e/)
- "COLOURlovers" (http://www.colourlovers.com/)


Last words: This is a work in progress, so I will update this main post ASAP.
Of course, my actions can be based on your feedback i.e., from your typos/grammar/functional/technical suggestions and fixes.
You are all welcome here, please contribute ;-)

In gsKit colors are BGR and not RGB ... you can verify this as there isn't even the well known "Yellow screen of fragmentation" in your listing (which is what is tagged as cyan - 0xFFFF00), it seems you have to re-work this

it takes a woman to figure this out. so many colors

@all
Tks for your feedback guys!

Okay, now I just need to find some "free" hours at night (and at home), in order to mix my work with that link one mentioned by lee (the previous work from barf). It isn't a good idea to open images and colored web pages at my work ;-)

Yes, agreed... It would be nice to have girlfriend, or wife, etc. available and close enough to help us on this :-D

Are these the same colours as used in ESR? if not can someone post a link for the debug colours of ESR.

Unfortunately they are not the same. I'm not aware of any ESR debug color description, but I'm not saying here it never existed.
