The doc string is missing the most basic information: What data type
parameter COLOR is.  It should say that COLOR must be a string or the
symbol `unspecified' (an error is raised otherwise).
 
It should say that the string can be any string, and that the function
returns non-nil for #1 or #2, and nil otherwise:
 
1. a defined (recognized) color name
2. a color RGB code, with prefix `#'
 
The doc should not say anything about the particular strings
"unspecified-fg" or "unspecified-bg": there is nothing special about
them.  The function returns nil for ANY string other than #1 or #2.
 
Consider adding to the doc string the "Note..." that is in the Elisp
manual and that refers to `color-supported-p'.
 
For the Elisp manual doc of `color-defined-p': change "X" to "X Window".  If the
same bug occurs elsewhere in the manual, please fix those occurrences too.
