Dear Monks,

I'm writing a Gtk2 GUI application that uses Goo::Canvas to plot a data file. (zentara's Goo::Canvas Graphing demo helped a lot: I'm thankful for it.)

I saw in that demo and also in the example scripts that came with the module that it is possible to specify colors with their names, e.g. 
my $circle = Goo::Canvas::Ellipse->new(
    $g, $cx, $cy, 3, 3,
    'stroke-color' => 'red',  # <===== LIKE THIS 
    'line-width' => 1);

What I was unable to find is an official list of such color names that are supported by Goo::Canvas.

Come to think of it, I couldn't find a list of color names that are supported by Gtk2/Cairo/Pango itself.

Are these two lists identical?

Am I correct in my assumption that these lists are also identical to that found in rgb.txt that defines color names for X11?
