the GNOME Color Browser

## NAME

gcolorsel - the GNOME Color Browser

## SYNOPSIS

**gcolorsel**

or select **Color Browser** from the **Utilities** submenu of the Main Menu.

## DESCRIPTION

**GNOME Color Browser** is a utility for selecting screen (i.e., X Window System) color.  The X Window System comes with many pre-defined colors, from Alice Blue to Pale Goldenrod to Yellow Green. GNOME Color Browser lets you browse these colors and select one of them to be used by an application. It also allows you define your own collection of favorite colors, or find a pre-defined color most closely matching a given one.

For full documentation see the **GNOME Color Browser** online help.
