The global the-color-database object is an instance of color-database<%>. It maintains a database of standard RGB colors for a predefined set of named colors (such as “black” and “light gray”). See find-color for information on how color names are normalized.

> > method

> > (send a-color-database find-color color-name)

> → (or/c (is-a?/c color%) #f)
> color-name : string?

Finds a color by name (character case is ignored). If no color is found for the name, #f is returned, otherwise the result is an immutable color object.

Color names are normalized by case and spaces are removed from colors before they are looked up in the database, with two exceptions: "cornflower blue" and "cadet blue". For those two colors, the names are compared in a case-insensitive way, but spaces are not removed, as the spaceless versions of those names are different colors than the ones with spaces in them.

Examples:

> > (define (show-colors-named . names)
> (apply
> hc-append
> 2
> (for/list ([name (in-list names)])
> (colorize
> (filled-rectangle 60 40)
> (send the-color-database find-color name)))))

> > (show-colors-named "blue"
> "BLUE"
> "B L U E")

> > (show-colors-named "cornflowerblue"
> "CORNFLOWERBLUE"
> "CORN flow ERB lue"
> "cornflower blue"
> "CORNFLOWER BLUE"
> "cornflower blue "
> " CORNFLOWER BLUE"
> "cornflower blue")

Changed in version 1.16 of package draw-lib: Changed normalization to more generally remove spaces.

> > method

> > (send a-color-database get-names) → (listof string?)

Returns an alphabetically sorted list of case-folded color names for which find-color returns a color% value.
