Um, no. [I presume you meant `list-colors-display',]
Perhaps the doc string should be more clear about it [though I suppose
technically it's accurate, as it makes no mention of being exhaustive], but
the default behavior on X is to display a list of `interesting' colors (those
with names). Such a list is more likely to emphasize colors that are
interesting to human eyes, and I doubt that anyone cares whether such it has
any simple relationship to the number of possible colors when its length is
above about a 100 or so -- you can still, obviously, use the #xxx notation to
get any color you want.
