Color

The Color class provides precomputed palettes and common color names for widgets so they can be presented as a coherent color theme.

The size of the Color class is kept small enough to be used in a preloader. This class is therefore not integrated with the ColorNameTable class because the combined size would be prohibitive for a preloader.
