> What was the reason of removing colors?  etc/rgb.txt contains 752 colors,

The comment added 2008-05-10 (revno#87519) says that the ordering of the
colors is chosen for the user's convenience in `list-colors-display'.

But later at 2009-08-05 I provided a patch that adds a new option
`list-colors-sort' that defines the sorting order for `list-colors-display':
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/113422/focus=113687

I propose to revert 2008-05-10 change, so `x-colors' will be again the
complete copy of etc/rgb.txt.  And to install my patch that implements the
current sorting order in `x-colors' as the default value of the new option
`list-colors-sort'.
