I don't understand your arguments here.  I think that "gray80" should
be gray80, "tan" should be tan, etc.  If people are mucking with
rgb.txt to produce locally-specific things, it's IMHO the Wrong Thing
to do.  If I specify the color as "black", I don't want to have it as
"white" *anywhere*, even for the users who like having dark
backgrounds.  There are other ways of specifying colors besides
mucking with rgb.txt.

As another point of view, note that the problem has arisen from
"gray80" being defined somewhere else, which had *nothing* to do with
various monitors or video cards.

So, I'd like that we use "gray80" as hex, that being (calc-calc)
"#cccccc".
