1456.0. "Color 'Grey' not available on remote system" by MARX::ADAMS () Mon Sep 18 1989 15:13

    I am trying to do a remote display of a DECWindows screen on 
    Ultrix to VMS DECWindows. After setting the DISPLAY variable on
    Ultrix and doing the Security Option on the session manager
    on VMS DECWindows, I can generally transfer the window from
    Ultrix over to VMS. One program however causes the following
    message:
    
    The color 'Grey' is not available on the remote system
    
    If it was a target Ultrix system, I would know this is caused by
    not enough memory available.
    
    Does anyone know what this error means about the VMS system?
    
    Is there anyway of checking that ' Grey' is available on
    VMS DECWindows?

The named colours are defined in logical names...

$ sho log decw$rgb*/table=decw$server0_table/out=c.tmp
$ sear c.tmp grey
  "DECW$RGB_DarkSlateGrey" = "12032,20224,20224"
  "DECW$RGB_DimGrey" = "21504,21504,21504"
  "DECW$RGB_LightGrey" = "43008,43008,43008"
  "DECW$RGB_dark slate grey" = "12032,20224,20224"
  "DECW$RGB_dim grey" = "21504,21504,21504"
  "DECW$RGB_light grey" = "43008,43008,43008"

So, there doesn't appear to be a plain "grey" (or "gray", if 
you want to spell like the locals).
