Hi John,

Those colors sound like the X colors defined in /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt.

gwiz% grep ForestGreen /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
 34 139  34             ForestGreen

Although I would think this file should be installed by default.
On my YDL 4.1 system, the rgb.txt file is part of the package:

gwiz% rpm -qf /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.4.ydl.2

You could also try to run emacs as "emacs -nw" to run it in
non-windowed mode.
