While using portable colors is a concern, it seems orthogonal.  X.Org
ships with these colors, and as things stand, nothing is stopping them
from being used.  We could perhaps recommend against using them, and not
much else.

While the potential issues for Solaris users are understood, I believe
we should weigh that against other platforms.

Reverting will mean that these colors won't work for users on some of
our most commonly used platforms.  That's all.  Is it good practice to
leave such things broken on some platforms, in the hope that it will be
enough to provoke Emacs Lisp developers to fix it on some others?
