The colors are taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names
I have not tested all, so pardon me, if some color does not work!!

Re: dsetcolor - Set background color whit Dmenu & Xsetroot

The following colors don't work with xsetroot:

~> for i in {1..139}; do col=$(sed -n ${i}'p' x11list | sed s'/ *$//' ); xsetroot -solid "${col}"; done 
xsetroot:  unknown color "Aqua"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Cornflower"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Crimson"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Fuchsia"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Indigo"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Laser Lemon"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Olive"
xsetroot:  unknown color "Teal"

I just wrote this little python-script, which uses the same list
