Sorry for the confusion. When I jumped into the thread, it was after
you stated that it was color completion that prohibited use of
"#c0c0c0" and the like as color specifiers and that this was a
necessity. And my claim was that prohibiting the use of legal color
specifiers was not my idea of an intuitive user interface, and that I
failed to see the necessity when, for example, file name completion
for opening files with C-x C-f could work without demanding that the
file you are going to work with exists previously.
That entering colors for
M-x set-background-color
in the form #c0c0c0 and similar is illegal also under X seems to show
that this bears little relation to tty colors, but rather is an
artifact of general interactive color treatment.
