mkcol

This is a Unix script to help generate O datablocks of colour codes. In O, the user is free to associate red-green-blue (RGB) mixes with colour names. This program takes a file of RGB mixes and names, and outputs a file containing 2 O datablocks. The script is useful if you want to add or remove colours, or to load up colours supported by your own X system:
