title: What is the standard way of accessing X11 color mappings in C/C++?
body: <p>Googling around, I see <a href="http://xona.com/colorlist/RGBcolorlist.txt" rel="nofollow">this list</a>, which provides a useful name to rgb mapping.</p>
  
  <p>Of course, I can easily copy this file, store it somewhere, and read it, but I was wondering, is there a standard way of accessing this list from C/C++ from some standard location (hopefully, without a lot of hassle)?</p>
  
  <p>Even a standard location in a *nix system would be useful, since reading/parsing the file is trivial.</p>
  
  <p>Fwiw, I am running gcc 4.7.3 on Ubuntu 13.04.</p>
