Do
(color-values "blue")
and
(color-values "firebrick")
return the same values on pre- and post- merge builds for you?
- they do for me, and I don't seem to see color differences (checked
with the gimp too). While the NS port _did_ introduce a load of its own
color handling stuff (including some pretty gratuitous-looking color
database duplication - emacs/etc/Emacs.clr vs. emacs/etc/rgb.txt ), it
seems to be confined to NS-specific code paths.

N.B. There have been relatively recent changes to the x.org named color
handling - rgb.txt got deprecated, now the server ignores RGBPath and
uses a compiled-in list (effectively the same values as the historic
default rgb.txt though), and libX11 defaults to trying Xcms before the
server list. That said, I'd naively expect any weirdness in named-color
resolution on the X side to affect all apps using it equally, so it
probably doesn't explain it.
